Trehalose, a disaccharide of glucose, has been reported to accumulate in many organisms
that can withstand extended periods of inanimation. Since this discovery, the properties of …

Lyophilization is a promising approach to ensure the long-term stability of liposomes. After
decades of studies in this field, different lyoprotective mechanisms, such as water …

Plants are sessile and sensitive organisms known to possess various regulatory
mechanisms for defending themselves under stress environments. Fructans are fructose …

Trehalose is a disaccharide of glucose that is found at high concentrations in a wide variety
of organisms that naturally survive drying in nature. Many years ago we reported that this …

Liposomes have gained great interest in the food and pharmaceutical industry as colloidal
carriers of bioactive compounds. In this work, liposomes of phosphatidylcholine (PC) and …

Given the successful entry of several liposomal drug products into market, and some with
decades of clinical efficacy, liposomal drug delivery systems have proven capabilities to …

Water is essential for life on Earth. In its absence, however, some organisms can interrupt
their life cycle and temporarily enter an ametabolic state, known as anhydrobiosis [1]. It is …

The disaccharide trehalose is well known for its bioprotective properties. Produced in large
amounts during stress periods in the life of organisms able to survive potentially damaging …

Background The compatible solute trehalose is involved in the osmostress response of
Rhizobium etli, the microsymbiont of Phaseolus vulgaris. In this work, we reconstructed …

Bioactive compounds (bioactives) such as phenolic acids, coumarins, flavonoids, lignans
and carotenoids have a marked improvement effect on human health by acting on body …
