TL;DR: An in vitro predictive test to assess the skin sensitizing potential of chemicals based on the analysis and integration of intracellular signalling pathways evoked by chemicals concomitantly with gene expression modulation in skin-derived dendritic cells indicates that the analysis of proposed gene and signalling pathway signatures in a mouse skin-based cell line represents a valuable model to be integrated in a future in vitro test platform.

TL;DR: An integrated process using Eucalyptus globulus essential oil as a bio-based solvent to extract triterpenic acids from hydrodistilled leaves is discussed in this paper .

TL;DR: Phenolic-enriched extracts of Cytisus multiflorus and Eriocephalus africanus were obtained and evaluated in chemical models for their phenolic content, reducing power capacity, scavenging ability for DPPH radical, nitric oxide and hypochlorous acid, as well as for their ability to inhibit 5-Lipoxygenase activity.

TL;DR: The Salvia L. aurea essential oil (EO) was obtained by hydrodistillation and subsequently analyzed by GC-FID and GC-MS in this paper .

TL;DR: In this article , the authors investigated the effects of propolis in the differential activation of T lymphocytes by stimulating Dendritic cells with heat-labile enterotoxin B subunit (EtxB) or lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to assess whether propolis can modulate the activation of CD4+ T cells.
