Aspergillus fumigatus Triggers Inflammatory Responses by Stage-Specific beta-Glucan Display.
PLoS Pathogens, 2005 Inhalation of fungal spores (conidia) occurs commonly and, in specific circumstances, can result in invasive disease. We investigated the murine inflammatory response to conidia of Aspergillus fumigatus, the most common invasive mold in immunocompromised

β-Glucan-Induced IL-10 Secretion by Monocytes Triggers Porcine NK Cell Cytotoxicity
Frontiers in Immunology, 2021 Beta-glucans are naturally occurring polysaccharides present in cell walls of fungi, yeast, bacteria, cereals, seaweed, and algae. These microbe-associated molecular patterns (MAMPs) possess immunomodulatory properties.

Identifying beta-glucans and peptidoglycans in medicinal products
Регуляторные исследования и экспертиза лекарственных средствINTRODUCTION. Beta-glucans and peptidoglycans are cell wall components of bacteria and fungi that are potential sources of pyrogenic contamination of parenteral medicines. Such impurities can cause adverse immune reactions.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Melanin content directly controls fungal spore mechanical properties, with pigmented spores achieving rupture forces two orders of magnitude higher than hyaline spores. Environmental stress drives this quantity‐quality tradeoff; stressed species invest energy in melanin‐reinforced, mechanically superior thick‐walled, super‐hydrophobic spores, while ...

Medicinal importance of fungal beta-(1 -> 3), (1 -> 6)-glucans
, 2007 Non-cellulosic beta-glucans are now recognized as potent immunological activators, and some are used clinically in China and Japan. These beta-glucans consist of a backbone of glucose residues linked by beta-(1-->3)-glycosidic bonds, often with attached ...
