Anaerobutyricum soehngenii improves glycemic control and other markers of cardio-metabolic health in adults at risk of type 2 diabetes
Anaerobutyricum soehngenii (previously Eubacterium hallii) is a butyrate-producing next-generation beneficial microbe generally recognized as safe. Several short-term intervention trials by A. soehngenii L2-7 have shown improvement of insulin sensitivity in prediabetic subjects and type 2 diabetes patients. To determine the long-term cardiometabolic benefits and safety, we performed a 3-month double-blind, randomized placebo-controlled intervention in 98… →

Molecular characterization and predictors of relapse in patients with Ph + ALL after frontline ponatinib and blinatumomab
CONCLUSIONS: WBC ≥ 70 × 10⁹/L is a high-risk feature in patients with Ph + ALL receiving frontline blinatumomab and ponatinib and may supersede the prognostic importance of baseline molecular features. Alternative frontline treatment strategies may be needed for these patients to reduce the risk of relapse and improve long-term outcomes. →

Synergistic Enhancement of Compromised Skin Radiance: A Clinical Investigation of Prinsepia utilis Royle Polysaccharides and Nonapeptide Co-Application
CONCLUSION: PCA analysis revealed PUR9-2 uniquely modulated gene expression compared to PURP and EQ9. Functional enrichment analysis based on Gene Ontology (GO) demonstrated PUR9-2 restored UVA-suppressed TNFAIP3 and CRNN gene. The results of RT-PCR also indicated that PUR9-2 enhanced skin barrier integrity in 3D models via upregulated expression of FLG, LOR, and DSG1. The Chou-Talalay… →
