These findings suggest that the presence of intact breast milk sCD14 in the upper digestive system could promote innate immunity in this low bacteria density lumen. The low concentration of sCD14 in the LPS-rich environment of the distal gastrointestinal tract (i.e. commensal microflora) could ...

Therefore, the data presented in this study has successfully demonstrated the potential of developing a material system with the functions of attracting, catching and killing diseased cells (e.g., circulating tumor cells) or even invading microorganisms (e.g., bacteria). Development of materials ...
In reality, proteins, fats, carbohydrates and even fiber are usually digested completely – if they aren’t (and they come out intact) it’s because the body couldn’t digest them. Feces are actually made up of bacteria (anywhere from 30%-70%), water, mineral salts and some traces of ...
Scheme 1. Schematic illustration of anchoring OX40L to tumor cell membrane for synergetic tumor “self-killing” immunotherapy. To validate this hypothesis, we developed the highly efficient and biocompatible gene delivery system KT to co-deliver the CpG and OX40L genes, which was next shielded ...
It is tempting to point out here, this produces one more exception to the US FDA ruling about “cures”: the bacteria found in fermented sauerkraut, yogurt and Kim chi can really cure botulism. How? By neutralizing this most potent nerve poison and lowering the pH of the medium so th...
environment in the digestive system, should also be avoided. Pre- and probiotics for candida are discussed below, including advice on how to encourage healthier, “friendly” bacteria. The bottom line is: the healthier your intestinal tract, the less chance candida has of invading and colonizing ...

Their digestive system consists of a foregut, midgut and hindgut. In the foregut, which includes the mouth, pharynx and esophagus, ingestion and sucking of food particles take place. The midgut consists of a ventriculus and coecae where budding-off of cells from the walls promotes engulfment ...
