TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a set of guidelines for the selection and interpretation of methods for use by investigators who aim to examine macro-autophagy and related processes, as well as for reviewers who need to provide realistic and reasonable critiques of papers that are focused on these processes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Propolis and its constituent caffeic acid suppress LPS-stimulated pro-inflammatory response by blocking NF-κB and MAPK activation in macrophages

TL;DR: Propolis exerted an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory action and caffeic acid may be involved in its inhibitory effects on NO production and intracellular signaling cascades, suggesting its use as a natural source of safe anti- inflammatory drugs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dendritic cell-based immunotherapy: a basic review and recent advances

TL;DR: This review will hold focus on DC immunobiology, on the new concept of cancer immunoediting, and on the knowledge given by clinical trials using DC vaccines, as well as applying the latest advances in science.
Journal ArticleDOI

Essential oil of Daucus carota subsp. halophilus: composition, antifungal activity and cytotoxicity.

TL;DR: It is possible to find appropriate doses of Daucus carota oil showing both antifungal activity and very low detrimental effect on mammalian cells, as shown in the present study.
Journal ArticleDOI

Essential oil of common sage (Salvia officinalis L.) from Jordan: assessment of safety in mammalian cells and its antifungal and anti-inflammatory potential.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that bioactive concentrations of S. officinalis oils do not affect mammalian macrophages and keratinocytes viability making them suitable to be incorporated in skin care formulations for cosmetic and pharmaceutical purposes.
