Stimuli‐responsive hydrogels: An intelligent tool for wound management

Interdisciplinary Medicine, EarlyView.
For chronic and complex wounds, this review focuses on intelligent hydrogels capable of responding to wound microenvironmental cues (e.g., pH, enzymes) or external stimuli (e.g., light, electricity). These advanced materials enable the dynamic regulation of drug release and real‐time monitoring of healing progression, thereby offering innovative ...

Disease resistance of pacu Piaractus mesopotamicus (Holmberg, 1887) fed with β-glucan

Brazilian Journal of Biology
Effects of β-glucan on innate immune responses and survival were studied in pacu experimentally infected with Aeromonas hydrophila. Fish fed diets containing 0, 0.1% and 1% β-glucan were injected with A. hydrophila.

Binding of soluble yeast β-glucan to human neutrophils and monocytes is complement- dependent

Frontiers in Immunology, 2013
The immunomodulatory properties of yeast β-1,3/1,6 glucans are mediated through their ability to be recognized by human innate immune cells. While several studies have investigated binding of opsonized and unopsonized particulate β-glucans to human ...

Monocytes with trained immunity–like signatures are associated with acute anterior uveitis in ankylosing spondylitis

Interdisciplinary Medicine, EarlyView.
In ankylosing spondylitis‐acute anterior uveitis (AS‐AAU), trained immunity monocytes (Mono‐TI) differentiate into macrophages in the eye, retaining trained immunity features. Mono‐TI cells secrete pro‐inflammatory cytokines and chemokines, including IL‐1β, TNF‐α, and CCL3.

Enzymes that catalyze cyclization of β-1,2-glucans

Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology
β-1,2-Glucans are physiologically important polymers for interactions such as symbiosis and pathogenesis between organisms and adaptation to environmental changes. However, rarity of β-1,2-glucans in nature limits exploration of related enzymes. Recently,

Immunological and periodontal benefits of prebiotic polydextrose in rats with induced periodontitis

Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Prebiotic therapy is a promising approach for managing periodontitis due to its potential benefits in modulating the microbiome and the immune response. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of the prebiotic (PREB) polydextrose (PDX) on the development of experimental periodontitis (EP) in rats.

Qualitative and quantitative estimation of beta-glucan (β-1,3-glucan) extracted from keratitis causing Fusarium spp.

The Microbe
Keratitis is a corneal inflammation caused by invasion of the epithelium, stroma, and endothelium. Fusarium is the predominant fungal pathogen associated with keratitis, with β-1,3-glucan may contribute to species-complex specific inflammatory responses ...
