Today his talk will cover two areas:
1. Numerous and diversified proteins are releasedfrom exosome producingcells and these proteinsserve an important role in human physiology and pathophysiology. However, whetherthe molecules containedin exosomes have the same biological effect on the recipient cells as in the exosomeproducing cells is largely unknown. Moreover, less understood is if a leader moleculeis present in exosomes and what its role. Filling in this key gap in our current knowledge would further clarify the molecular basis of the unique biological effects mediated by exosomes on the recipient cells and add to the current conceptual framework of exosomal biology
2. Chronic non-resolving inflammation with widespread microglial activation is a defining feature of central nervous system (CNS) diseases. Microglial cells, the most abundant type of immune cell in the brain, play important roles in brain development, maintenance, and disease. These cells also respond vigorously to both chronic disease and acute insults affecting the CNS.
A healthy diet inhibits brain inflammation, understanding the molecular and physiological mechanisms that underlie the effects of a healthy diet on brain function via the diet-gut-brain axis has been a priority of researchers for many years. Understanding the mechanisms that underlie the beneficial effects of a healthy diet on prevention of chronic inflammation of the brain may enable the creation of dietary or pharmaceutical interventions to improve brain function. Here, a garlic exosome-like nanoparticle (GaELNs) was used as proof-of-concept to studythe effect of GaELNs on microglial cells and the resulting effects on chronic inflammation of the brain.
