Effect of oats and oat ß-glucan on glycemic control in diabetes: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials [PDF]

BMJ Open Diabetes Research & Care, 2022
Introduction Current health claims recognize the ability of oat ß-glucan to lower blood cholesterol; however, its ability to improve glycemic control is less certain.

Loss of Fgr41 in Candida albicans attenuates virulence and increases proinflammatory immune responses in a manner that is dependent on β(1,3)-glucan but not dectin-1 [PDF]

Infection and Immunity
β(1, 3)-glucan is an essential cell wall polysaccharide in the fungal pathogen Candida albicans and is also an important immunogenic epitope for host recognition.

Effect of a Pleuran-Based Supplement on Salivary IgA Secretion in Children With Recurrent Respiratory Infections [PDF]

Current Therapeutic Research
Background: ß-glucans isolated from natural sources have demonstrated pluripotent immunomodulatory potential, making them a promising supportive treatment for the management of recurrent respiratory infections (RRIs) in children.

Cek1 regulates ß(1,3)-glucan exposure through calcineurin effectors in Candida albicans.

PLoS Genetics, 2022
In order to successfully induce disease, the fungal pathogen Candida albicans regulates exposure of antigens like the cell wall polysaccharide ß(1,3)-glucan to the host immune system. C.

Tuning heterologous glucan biosynthesis in yeast to understand and exploit plant starch diversity

BMC Biology, 2022
Background Starch, a vital plant-derived polysaccharide comprised of branched glucans, is essential in nutrition and many industrial applications. Starch is often modified post-extraction to alter its structure and enhance its functionality.

Purification and Characterisation of a Fungal ß-1,6-glucanase for the Production of Gentio-oligosaccharides from Brewer’s Spent Yeast

Chemical Engineering Transactions, 2023
Gentio-oligosaccharides (GnOS) are an emerging class of prebiotics derived from ß-1,6-glucan, a polysaccharide found within the cell walls of fungi such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae, or Brewer’s yeast (BSY).

Effect of 1,3-1,6 β-Glucan on Natural and Experimental Deformed Wing Virus Infection in Newly Emerged Honeybees (Apis mellifera ligustica). [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
The Western Honeybee is a key pollinator for natural as well as agricultural ecosystems. In the last decade massive honeybee colony losses have been observed worldwide, the result of a complex syndrome triggered by multiple stress factors, with the RNA ...

Activation of Cph1 causes ß(1,3)-glucan unmasking in Candida albicans and attenuates virulence in mice in a neutrophil-dependent manner.

PLoS Pathogens, 2021
Masking the immunogenic cell wall epitope ß(1,3)-glucan under an outer layer of mannosylated glycoproteins is an important virulence factor deployed by Candida albicans during infection.

Effect of Nitrogen and Seeding Rate on β-Glucan, Protein, and Grain Yield of Naked Food Barley in No-Till Cropping Systems in the Palouse Region of the Pacific Northwest

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2021
Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) has a storied history as a food crop, and it has long been a dietary staple of peoples in temperate climates. Contemporary research studies have focused mostly on hulled barley for malt and animal feed.
