Oral beta-glucan adjuvant therapy converts nonprotective Th2 response to protective Th1 cell-mediated immune response in mammary tumor-bearing mice.

Folia Histochemica et Cytobiologica, 2007
Beta (1-3)-D-glucans were identified almost 40 years ago as biological response modifiers that stimulated tumor rejection. In vitro studies have shown that beta-glucans bind to a lectin domain within complement receptor type 3 (CR3), or to, more recently

Cellulosimicrobium cellulans strain E4-5 enzymatic hydrolysis of curdlan for production of (1 -> 3)-linked beta-D-glucan oligosaccharides

, 2015
In order to find an efficient enzymatic tool for curdlan degradation to produce (1 -> 3)-linked beta-D-glucan oligosaccharides, strain E4-5 (registration number JN089883, Genbank) was isolated from seaside soil. The 16S rRNA gene sequencing classified

Developing Metal–Polyphenol Network‐Based Single‐Protein Particle Encapsulation System for Sustained Release of Whey Protein to Mitigate Sarcopenia

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Sarcopenia has emerged as a major health challenge in the aging population. Developing a sustained‐release system for whey protein may enhance its effectiveness in mitigating sarcopenia. Herein, a novel “single‐protein particle encapsulation” (SPPE) system is developed to protect whey protein and control its release.

Role of beta-(1→3)(1→6)-D-glucan derived from yeast on natural killer (NK) cells and breast cancer cell lines in 2D and 3D cultures

BMC Cancer
Background Beta-(1,3)(1,6)-D-glucan is a complex polysaccharide, which is found in the cell wall of various fungi, yeasts, bacteria, algae, barley, and oats and has immunomodulatory, anticancer and antiviral effects. In the present study, we investigated

Growth and Carcass Performance in Broiler Chickens Supplemented with β-Glucanase from Aerobic Fungi Aspergillus Niger and Trichoderma Longibrachiatum

The Journal of Poultry Science, 2007
A variety of factors can affect feed efficiency in poultry; among them is β-Glucan. β-Glucan in feeds is often poorly digest and has deleterious effects on nutrient absorption.
