Phytochemical Composition, Anti-Inflammatory and ER Stress-Reducing Potential of <i>Sambucus ebulus</i> L. Fruit Extract

<i>Sambucus ebulus</i> L. (SE) fruits are used for their immunostimulation, hematopoietic and antiviral potential. Recently, we focused on analyzing the mechanism underlying SE fruit aqueous extract’s (FAE) immunomodulation and anti-inflammatory activities, with attention to its endoplas...
