To analyse lactic acid bacteria (LAB) diversity and technological‐functional safety properties of strains present during spontaneous fermented quinoa sourdoughs. Fermentation was performed by daily backslopping at 30°C for 10 days. Autochthonous LAB microbiota monitored a biphasic approach combining random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD)‐PCR rRNA gene sequencing with PCR‐denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) analysis. Identification intraspecies differentiation allowed to group...

Gam-COVID-Vac (SPUTNIK V) has been granted emergency use authorization in 70 nations and administered to millions worldwide. However, there are very few peer-reviewed studies describing its effects. Independent reports regarding safety effectiveness could accelerate the final approval by WHO. We aimed study long-term humoral immune response naïve previously infected volunteers who received SPUTNIK V.Humoral responses, assayed anti-SARS-CoV-2-spike-RBD IgG ELISA neutralization assays, were...

Abstract We hypothesized that in individuals with previous SARS-CoV-2 infection, the first vaccine dose would work as a booster, eliciting faster and more intense immune response. herein describe antibody responses to second doses of Gam-COVID-Vac (SPUTNIK V) health personnel Tucumán, Argentina, COVID-19 compared it uninfected personnel. Individuals anti-SARS-CoV-2 titers at baseline showed significantly higher than people no prior history disease (p &lt;0.0001), those registered after...

Vaginal lactobacilli (LAB) in probiotic formulas constitute a promising alternative for microbiome reconstitution and the prevention treatment of urogenital infections. A double-blind, randomised clinical trial was conducted to assess safety LAB-gelatine capsules vaginally administered healthy sexually active women. Participants were into three groups: intervention A: Lactobacillus reuteri CRL1324, gasseri CRL1263 CRL1307; B: rhamnosus CRL1332, L. CRL1256 CRL1320; C: placebo. In survey...

The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) has caused a global pandemic with dramatic health and socioeconomic consequences. Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) challenges systems to quickly respond by developing new diagnostic strategies that contribute identify infected individuals, monitor infections, perform contact-tracing, limit the spread of virus. In this brief report, we developed highly sensitive, specific, precise "In-House" ELISA correctly discriminate...

The early sequencing of the SARS-CoV-2 viral genome allowed for a speedy development effective vaccines against virus. Nevertheless, age-related immunosenescence, inability to mount strong immune responses, still represents major obstacle. Here, in group 149 elderly volunteers (70-96 years old), evolution humoral response over time Gam-COVID-Vac (Sputnik V), vaccine based on heterologous recombinant adenovirus-26 (Ad26) and adenovirus-5 (Ad5) carrying Spike genome, was analyzed by an...

The escalating prevalence of Parkinson's disease (PD) underscores the need for innovative therapeutic interventions since current palliative measures, including standard l-Dopa formulations, face challenges tolerance and side effects while failing to address underlying neurodegenerative processes. Here, we introduce DAD9, a novel conjugate molecule that aims combine symptomatic relief with disease-modifying strategies PD. Crafted through knowledge-guided chemistry, combines nonantibiotic...

Background: Gam-COVID-Vac, also known as SPUTNIK V, is the first COVID-19 vaccine registered, has emergency use authorization in 70 nations, and been administered to millions worldwide. However, there are very few peer-reviewed studies describing its effects. As independent reports begin be published, a more accurate picture regarding safety effectiveness could accelerate approval by WHO.Methods: An ELISA that detects anti-SARS-CoV-2-spike-RBD IgG was used, both transversal longitudinal...
