The present invention relates to the field of prebiotics. Provided are uses for compositions comprising synergistically effective amounts of polyfructose and galactooligosaccharides (GOS).

The present invention discloses novel uses of specific menthol-derivative compounds of Formula 1, and compositions thereof, for methods of providing oral and systemic health care benefits, and methods of up-regulating or down-regulating periodontal disease metabolites: Formula 1 wherein, X is an oxygen atom or an NH radical; and R is an unsubstituted or substituted aryl or aliphatic radical. In some embodiments, the oral and systemic health care benefits include biofilm anti-attachment, anti-inflammation, anti-oxidant, anti-bone loss, and anti-microbial benefits. In some embodiments, the periodontal disease metabolites correspond to healthy and/or diseased oral status and allow differential diagnosis of oral health. ##STR00001##

Methods and compounds are disclosed for wound healing by modulating autophagy. A formulation for modulating autophagy comprises a first modulating compound (FAM) selected from compounds having the general structure (I): ##STR00001## wherein: L represents a linker selected from CC, (a tolan), CHCH (a stilbene, preferably trans); or CR.sub.aCR.sub.b a stilbene derivative; where R.sub.a and R.sub.b are independently H or phenyl optionally substituted with (R.sup.3).sub.p or (R.sup.4).sub.q; R.sup.1 to R.sup.4 are independent substituents at any available position of the phenyl rings, preferably at 3, 3, 4, 4, and/or 5, 5; and m, n, p, and q are independently 0, 1, 2, or 3 representing the number of substituents of the rings, respectively, but at least one of m or n must be 1. Each R.sup.1 to R.sup.2 is independently selected from substituents described herein, including but not limited to hydroxyl, alkoxy, halo, halomethyl and glycosides. The formulation may also include an auxiliary autophagy modulating compound (AAM) as described herein. The formulation may include a hydrogel formed by the compounds themselves or otherwise and may include salts and/or complexes.

The present invention includes compositions and methods for modifying the expression of microRNAs comprising: one or more plant secondary metabolites capable of beneficially regulating different genes in the human genome by modifying the expression of one or more microRNAs, wherein the one or more plant secondary metabolites are selected and provided in an amount selected to target the modification of one or more specific microRNA.
