Pterostilbene protects against lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammation and blood–brain barrier disruption in immortalized brain endothelial cell lines in vitro by Yan Zhou, Yifan Yang, Rui Tian, Wai San Cheang

“…In this study, we investigated the protective effects of pterostilbene on LPS-stimulated mouse brain endothelial (bEnd.3) cells and underlying mechanisms. The results showed that pterostilbene effectively upregulated the expressions of tight junction (TJ) proteins such as zonula occludens (ZO)-1 and claudin-5 and downregulated the expression of adhesion molecules such as intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-1 and vascular cell adhesion molecule (VCAM)-1, preventing BBB damage under LPS stimulation. …”

Analysis of the Power Cloud Framework Benefits and the Role of the City Energy Provider in the New Italian Electricity Tariff Scenario by D. Menniti, A. Pinnarelli, N. Sorrentino, G. Brusco, L. Mendicino, M. Mercuri

“…The need to consume less and better energy pushes more and more to find efficient solutions at the individual end-user and community levels. The concept of an energy community is becoming increasingly popular, and recently, many studies try to demonstrate how an aggregation of end-users, which produces energy according to a distributed generation concept, is a mechanism able to overcome the increasingly tight constraints imposed by the electricity market, both for the end-user and for the network and market operators. …”
