Offer Description The project aims to evaluate the efficacy of bovine lactoferrin (bLf) and the Valpalf® formulation, prepared
by combining bLf with sodium citrate and sodium bicarbonate, in in vitro models of inflammatory bowel
diseases. Caco-2 cells and THP-1 cells differentiated into macrophages will be used to simulate enterocytes
and immune response, respectively. Experimental models will reproduce ulcerative colitis
(lipopolysaccharide stimulation) and Crohn’s disease (interferon-γ stimulation and infection with an E. coli
bacterial strain). The project will analyze the effects of treatments on bacterial invasion and survival,
inflammation, oxidative stress, and iron homeostasis, in order to clarify the therapeutic potential of
lactoferrin in its two formulations, standard and Valpalf®.
