Description

Plant-derived nanovesicles (PDNVs) are lipoproteic nanostructures naturally produced by cells involved in intra- and interspecies cell-cell communication. They concentrate and carry a multitude of healthful compounds naturally present in plants, simultaneously protecting them from external degradative and oxidative events; for these reasons, they can lead to phenotypic changes also in mammalians. In addition to their natural origin, non-toxicity, and low immunogenicity, the possibility of isolating from large volumes makes them attractive for their use in clinics as a preventive and/or therapeutic strategy for many inflammatory diseases, including inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).This work aims to investigate the biological properties of industrially produced lemon nanovesicles (iLNVs) and to evaluate their protective effects against IBD. Our findings highlight several key aspects that contribute to the understanding of the mechanisms underlying the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties of iLNVs, revealing advantages in the management of IBD.
