Organic dusts and airways inflammation. With reference to the specific agents endotoxin and (1-3)-ß-D-glucan [PDF]
Objective: Organic dusts may contain different amounts of endotoxin, an inflammatory agent, and glucans for which the effects on humans are largely unknown.

ABSTRACT Wheat leaf rust, caused by Puccinia triticina, poses a significant threat to global wheat production. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are critical regulators of plant growth, development and stress responses; however, their role in wheat resistance to leaf rust remains poorly understood.

Bio‐based and (semi‐)synthetic zwitterion‐modified novel materials and fully synthetic next‐generation alternatives show the importance of material design for different biomedical applications. The zwitterionic character affects the physiochemical behavior of the material and deepens the understanding of chemical interaction mechanisms within the ...

Effect of processing on viscosity and molecular weight of (1,3)(1,4)-ß-glucan in western australian oat cultivars [PDF]
Six Australian milling oat cultivars grown over two growing seasons were characterized for differences in (1,3)(1,4)-ß-glucan (ß-glucan) viscosity, solubility, molecular weight (Mw), and the effect of processing.

Nanotherapies for Atherosclerosis: Targeting, Catalysis, and Energy Transduction
Atherosclerosis management is hindered by poor drug targeting and plaque heterogeneity. Nanotechnology overcomes these barriers via three core strategies: (1) target‐engineered nanocarriers that achieve lesion‐specific precision via ligand modification, biomimetic camouflage, stimuli‐responsive release, and self‐propelling nanomotors; (2) catalytic ...

Modulating the structural properties of ß-d-glucan degradation products by alternative reaction pathways [PDF]
The aim of the present study was to compare the degradation of beta-D-glucan induced by hydroxyl radical to the degradation induced by heat treatment. beta-D-Glucan was quickly and widely degraded by the action of hydroxyl radicals produced by a Fenton ...

ABSTRACT Background There is an increasing interest in healthier, nutrient‐rich foods so alternative grains produced in smaller quantities—including spelt wheat (Triticum spelta L.)—have once again become the focus of consumers. At the same time, the scientific proof of these claims is incomplete.

Electrostatic separation combined with ultra-fine grinding to produce ß-glucan enriched ingredients from oat bran [PDF]
Electrostatic separation was studied in a dry fractionation diagram to obtain ß-glucan-enriched fractions from oat bran preparations. Ultra-fine grinding at ambient or cryogenic temperature was needed to achieve good dissociation between the ...
