Selection for Greater β-Glucan Content in Oat Grain [PDF]

, 2001
Oat (Avena sativa L.) β-glucan lowers serum cholesterol in humans. Development of oat cultivars with greater groat (caryopsis) β-glucan content would increase the nutritional and economic value of the crop.

Preparation and Physicochemical Properties Analysis of Yeast β-Glucan Nanoparticles

Shipin gongye ke-ji
Yeast β-glucan was a multifunctional polysaccharide, but it was insoluble in water and present particles. To broaden its applicability, the yeast β-glucan nanoparticles were prepared by ball milling pulverization using yeast cells of Saccharomyces ...

Harnessing Fungal Biowelding for Constructing Mycelium‐Engineered Materials

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Mycelium‐bound composites (MBCs) offer low‐carbon alternatives for construction, yet interfacial bonding remains a critical challenge. This review examines fungal biowelding as a biocompatible adhesive, elucidating mycelium‐mediated interfacial mechanisms and their role in material assembly. Strategies to optimize biowelding are discussed, highlighting

Dietary β-1,3-Glucan Promotes Growth Performance and Enhances Non-Specific Immunity by Modulating Pattern Recognition Receptors in Juvenile Oriental River Prawn (Macrobrachium nipponense)

Fishes
As a typical pathogen-associated molecular pattern (PAMP), β-1,3-glucan can engage with pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) to initiate an immune response.

Impact of changes at the Candida albicans cell surface upon immunogenicity and colonisation in the gastrointestinal tract

The Cell Surface, 2022
The immunogenicity of Candida albicans cells is influenced by changes in the exposure of microbe-associated molecular patterns (MAMPs) on the fungal cell surface. Previously, the degree of exposure on the C.
