Sources, Functions and Therapeutic Applications of Bromelain
Bromelain is closely related to pineapple. Chemist Vicente Marcano first discovered bromelain in pineapple in 1891, and then another chemist, Russell Henry Chittenden, extracted bromelain from pineapple fruit, which was then called "proteolytic enzyme in pineapple juice". Scientists have found that ripe pineapple stems have higher levels of bromelain. Many tropical fruits, such as papaya, mango, ...

What Are Hydrolytic Enzymes?
Alternatively referred to as hydrolases, the hydrolytic enzymes are used to split different groups of biomolecules, like esters, peptides, and glycosides. Moreover, hydrolytic enzymes can break down protein, lipids, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, and fat molecules to their simplest or smallest forms. Furthermore, lysosomal hydrolase comprises phosphatases, carboxylesterases, ribonuclease, ...

How Can Liposomes Be Used in Cosmetics?
Liposomes have a phospholipid bilayer structure similar to cell membranes. Liposomes are closed ultramicrospheres, similar to an organelle-free artificial cell (only with cell membranes). The artificially manufactured liposome structure is also very similar to the exosomes and vesicles existing in nature. It is precisely due to this property similar to biofilm that it can be used as an efficient, ...

Administration of Lactobacillus fermentum KBL375 Causes Taxonomic and Functional Changes in Gut Microbiota Leading to Improvement of Atopic Dermatitis
Abstract Gut microbiota play an important role in immune responses and energy metabolism. In this study, we evaluated whether administration of Lactobacillus fermentum (L. fermentum) KBL375 isolated from healthy Korean feces improves the atopic dermatitis using the house dust mite (Dermatophagoides farinae)-induced atopic dermatitis (AD) mouse model. Administration of L. fermentum KBL375 ...

Glucose metabolism: key to neurodegenerative diseases
Previously, it was thought that glial cells, which support neuronal activity, metabolize most of the glucose in the brain. However, by using induced pluripotent stem cells, the researchers found that neurons were able to take up glucose and process it into smaller metabolites. In mice, normal function of neurons depends on glycolysis. The findings could help develop new treatments for ...
