Barley β-glucan consumption improves glucose tolerance by increasing intestinal succinate concentrations

npj Science of Food
Barley is rich in β-glucan, which can alter gut microbiota and metabolome profiles, potentially affecting host metabolism. However, the microbiota and metabolites increased by barley β-glucan remain unclear.

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,

Inhibition of osteosarcoma lung metastases by β-glucan and CD40 agonist is mediated by activation of macrophages and NK cells

Journal for ImmunoTherapy of Cancer
Background Osteosarcoma (OS) lung metastases remain a significant therapeutic challenge. Innate immune activation is a promising therapeutic approach. Innate immune agonists can modulate the tumor immune microenvironment and improve therapeutic response ...

β-1,6-Glucan plays a central role in the structure and remodeling of the bilaminate fungal cell wall

eLife
The cell wall of human fungal pathogens plays critical roles as an architectural scaffold and as a target and modulator of the host immune response. Although the cell wall of the pathogenic yeast Candida albicans is intensively studied, one of the major ...

Enhancing farmed striped catfish (Pangasianodon hypophthalmus) robustness through dietary β-glucan.

PLoS ONE
β-glucan is a well-documented feed additive for its potent immunostimulatory properties in many farmed fish species. This study examined how it can also be a promising growth promoter, modulate antioxidant enzyme activities, and act as an anti-stress ...
