Wine and vine components and health

A special Issue of Diseases “Wine and Vine Components and Health” has been compiled by guest editors Norbert Latruffes and Jean-Pierre Rifler.
They argue that despite the huge amount of data on this topic, there are still grey areas and incomplete knowledge. With this issue they aim present a better view of wine in order to explain the justification and the philosophy of wine with respect to ethics and public health.
The special issue gives them the opportunity to publish new findings on antioxidant capacity measurement using innovative technology, on the metabolism of polyphenols with respect to
humans, on the induction of neuron differentiation in cell models by resveratrol, and on the regulatory effect of hypertension in animals by some wine by- products.
The issue also includes reviews that make statements on wine polyphenols in connection with allergy/inflammation, with cancer, with intestine microflora, and with diet. Finally, the perspectives opened by new resveratrol derivatives to fight low bio-availability of the parent molecule are explored.
