MV140 enhances the response to Candida albicans
January 2021
According to research published in Frontiers in Immunology, the response to Candida albicans is enhanced and improved in combination with MV140 (Uromune). Recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis is a common infection. Prevention measures and treatments are still limited. It is often associated with urinary tract infections as a consequence of antibiotic treatment. Uromune is a bacterial vaccine used to prevent recurrent urinary infections. In this experimental study it is demonstrated how the combination of MV140 with Candida albicans enhances the response against this fungus, favoring the specific and non-specific cellular response, as well as the antibody response.

MV130 (Bactek) and mesenchymal stem cells
November 2020
Frontiers in Immunology publishes a study on the effect of MV130 (Bactek) on mesenchymal stem cells. These cells are acquiring a leading role not only for their differentiation capacity but also for their emerging immunomodulatory activity. Mesenchymal stem cells can take up the bacteria contained in MV130 and modify their functionality towards pro and anti-inflammatory responses in a controlled sequential way.
