Lactiplantibacillus plantarum CRL1506 ameliorates poly(I:C)-induced acute liver injury through cell wall-dependent modulation of inflammatory and antiviral immune responses

CRL1506 confers protection against virus-like acute liver injury by fine-tuning inflammatory and antiviral immune pathways and highlight the relevance of bacterial surface configuration in mediating its immunobiotic and hepatoprotective effects. This study underlines the potential of immunobiotic strains as functional dietary interventions to mitigate acute liver inflammation triggered by viral components.
