TL;DR: The curcumin-treated DC showed an impaired induction of Th1 responses and a normal cell-mediated immune response, which provides new insight into the immunopharmacological role ofCurcumin in impacting on the DC.

TL;DR: It is revealed that lycopene significantly attenuates the phenotypic and functional maturation of murine BM‐DC, especially in lipopolysaccharide‐induced DC maturation, and is able to inhibit mitogen‐activated protein kinases and the transcription factor, nuclear factor‐κB.

TL;DR: Results suggest that PL act as an effective immunomodulator and enhances the anti-tumoral activity of PM.

TL;DR: The process of isolating and purifying a water-soluble glycan from P. linteus was achieved by hot water extraction, filtration, solvent precipitation, dialysis, and freeze-drying and it was shown that the acidic proteo-heteroglycan was a noble biomolecule mixed both alpha- and beta-linkages, and a (1,6) branched type ( 1,3) glycan.

TL;DR: The molecular mechanisms by which EGCG antagonized LPS-induced DC maturation appeared to involve the inhibition of MAPK and NF-kappaB activation and a novel approach to the manipulation of DC for therapeutic application of autoimmune and allergic diseases is suggested.
