Study of the biostimulating effect of a decoction of Michurin's chokerenia leaves <i>in vitro</i> using the <i>Parameсium caudatum</i> cilia test system by O. V. Pugacheva, A. V. Buzlama, A. Yu. Kuznetsov, O. V. Trineeva

“…A decoction of Michurin's chokeberry leaves (diluted 1 : 1000 when harvesting medicinal plant raw materials in June) significantly and reliably increases the survival time of the Parametium caudatum ciliate test system under the damaging effects of sodium chloride solution in the «functional load» test, by a maximum of 39.3 % compared to the control sample during 24-hour incubation, which indicates the presence of a biostimulating and membrane-protective effect.…”

Immunological and physiological changes of exercise-released lactate on tumors: an important and new research window by Amir Hossein Ahmadi Hekmatikar, Arsham Entesari, Hossein Shirvani

“…In the cancer immune cycle, the immune checkpoint PD-1 and its ligand PD-L1 collaborate to facilitate immune escape and promote tumor progression (Keir et al., 2008). In this context, a study revealed that lactate can enhance the expression of PD-L1 on tumor cells, suggesting that lactate may have a protective effect against tumors by increasing PD-L1 expression (Feng et al., 2017). …”
