The immunogenicity of malignant cells has recently been acknowledged as a critical determinant efficacy in cancer therapy. Thus, besides developing direct immunostimulatory regimens, including dendritic cell-based vaccines, checkpoint-blocking therapies, and adoptive T-cell transfer, researchers have started to focus on the overall immunobiology neoplastic cells. It is now clear that can succumb some anticancer therapies by undergoing peculiar form cell death characterized an increased...
Breast microbiota compositions are not well understood, and a few recent reports have begun to explore the correlation between breast tissue dysbiosis cancer. Given that various methods for detection were used, aim of present paper was clarify which hypervariable region 16S-rRNA gene (V2, V3, V4, V6 + 7, V8, V9) is most informative microbiota. Core needle biopsies (CNBs) compared with surgical excision (SEBs) find less invasive form recovery useful analysis larger statistical population...
Pomaces obtained from three San Marzano tomato genotypes including the wild type (WT), Sun Black (SB), and colorless fruit epidermis (CL) were dried at 50 °C analyzed for nutritional composition, total polyphenol (TPC), flavonoid (TFC) content, qualitative profile, antioxidant capacity (TAC), antimicrobial activity. Commercial powder (CTRP) was included as a control. No differences detected nutritionally, in TPC activity, but significant changes observed TFC TAC, underlying variation...
Hydroxytyrosol [2-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)ethanol, HTyr] is a phenolic compound found in olive leaves and fruits extra-virgin oil, which has well-known strong antioxidant radical-scavenging properties. Recently, it received particular attention for its antiproliferative apoptotic activities anti-inflammatory During the past few years, more efforts have been focused on synthesizing HTyr-derived compounds with enhanced biological their potential use different chronic degenerative diseases. In...
30% of tartary buckwheat sprouts (TBS) were incorporated in an experimental pasta which has a high content quercetin. TBS antioxidant and hypothensive effects SHR.
Legumes consumption is still low in Western countries, and their incorporation into bakery products could be a solution. However, minimally processed legume-based product challenge because of its negative impact on acceptance by consumers. Here, an oven-baked chip recipe, based lentil flour, was fortified with 5% hazelnut skin (HS), byproduct industrial processing, to improve the nutritional, antioxidant, sensory features this innovative food. Indeed, HS addition allows nutritional profile...
In recent decades, the production of extra virgin olive oil has doubled, with a high export value. Italy, large number varieties, around 500 registered, allows highly valued monovarietal oils significant impact on sensory profiles. Due to its excellent adaptation cold and remarkable resistance bacterial pathogen Xylella fastidiosa (subsp. pauca), volatile profiles Leccio del Corno were investigated in relation quality antioxidant activity. Our study revealed that activity (TPC: 3.29 mg...
ABSTRACT The sensory characteristics, antioxidant activity, fatty acids, and volatile compounds of extra virgin olive oils (EVOOs) from two different protected designations origin (PDOs) were analyzed to identify any differences that might be useful for characterizing them. profiles the PDO Sabina samples characterized by a medium intensity positive attributes fruity (from 3.0 5.0), bitter 2.8 4.0), pungent 5.0). It is worth underlining our results confirm presence typical tomato note in all...
