PMID:  Int J Mol Sci. 2020 May 12 ;21(10). Epub 2020 May 12. PMID: 32408566 Abstract Title:  Mangiferin Alleviates Ovalbumin-Induced Allergic Rhinitis via Nrf2/HO-1/NF-κB Signaling Pathways. Abstract:  Mangiferin (MF), extracted from mango trees, is considered to have anti-inflammatory, anti-apoptotic, and antioxidant effects. However, its effects on allergic rhinitis (AR), remain unclear. We investigated the mechanisms …

PMID:  Food Chem Toxicol. 2020 May 14:111415. Epub 2020 May 14. PMID: 32417366 Abstract Title:  Mangiferin induces the expression of a thermogenic signature via AMPK signaling during brown-adipocyte differentiation. Abstract:  Mangiferin (MF) from Mangifera indica has been serendipitously found to ameliorate obesity and is used as an antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and anticancer agent. Nonetheless, the …

PMID:  Methods Mol Biol. 2020 ;2060:305-317. PMID: 31617186 Abstract Title:  Isolation/Analysis of Extracellular Microvesicles from HSV-1-Infected Cells. Abstract:  Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are secreted membrane vesicles, derived from endosomes or from the plasma membrane, which have been isolated from most cell types and biological fluids. Although EVs are highly heterogeneous and their classification is complex, two …
