An Exopolysaccharide Produced by Bifidobacterium longum 35624® Inhibits Osteoclast Formation via a TLR2-Dependent Mechanism
The probiotic Bifidobacterium longum subsp. longum 35624® (B. longum 35624®), with its surface exopolysaccharide (EPS624), has previously been demonstrated to induce immunoregulatory responses in the host and may...
