Beta-glucan promotes dental pulp healing by enhancing cell proliferation, migration, and mineralization [PDF]

Journal of Dental Sciences
Background/purpose: Effective dental pulp healing is essential for preserving tooth vitality. Although beta-glucan has shown promise in wound healing in the medical fields, its potential effects on human dental pulp cells (HDPCs) remain unexplored.

Beta-glucan Induces Distinct and Protective Innate Immune Memory in Differentiated Macrophages

Journal of Immunology, 2021
Key Points β-Glucan protects mice from i.p. Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection. Macrophages contribute to β-glucan–induced protection in vivo. β-Glucan rewires macrophage function and metabolism independently of Dectin-1.

A Three-Day Intervention With Granola Containing Cereal Beta-Glucan Improves Glycemic Response and Changes the Gut Microbiota in Healthy Individuals: A Crossover Study

Frontiers in Nutrition, 2022
Intake of soluble fibers including beta-glucan, is known to improve post-prandial glycemic response. The mechanisms have been attributed to the viscous gel forming in the stomach and small intestine, giving a longer absorption time.

A drug-sensitive genetic network masks fungi from the immune system. [PDF]

PLoS Pathogens, 2006
Fungal pathogens can be recognized by the immune system via their beta-glucan, a potent proinflammatory molecule that is present at high levels but is predominantly buried beneath a mannoprotein coat and invisible to the host.
