Super-resolution imaging of C-type lectin spatial rearrangement within the dendritic cell plasma membrane at fungal microbe contact sites

Frontiers in Physics, 2014
Dendritic cells express DC-SIGN and CD206, C-type lectins (CTLs) that bind a variety of pathogens and may facilitate pathogen uptake for subsequent antigen presentation. Both proteins form punctate membrane nanodomains (~80 nm) on naïve cells.

Activation of the Lectin Pathway Drives Persistent Complement Dysregulation in Long COVID

Immunology, Volume 178, Issue 2, Page 261-268, June 2026.
The complement cascade, a series of blood proteins that assists in the recognition and neutralisation of pathogens, either independently or in conjunction with antibodies, is persistently activated in patients with long COVID. We found that blood plasma samples from patients with long COVID contained elevated concentrations of the mannan‐binding lectin‐

Histone deacetylase Sir2 promotes the systemic Candida albicans infection by facilitating its immune escape via remodeling the cell wall and maintaining the metabolic activity

mBio
Histone deacetylation affects Candida albicans (C. albicans) pathogenicity by modulating virulence factor expression and DNA damage. The histone deacetylase Sir2 is associated with C. albicans plasticity and maintains genome stability to help C. albicans

From Assessment to Optimization: A Comprehensive Review of the Mutton Quality Evaluation Index, Factors, and Improvement Strategies

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 3, May 2026.
This graphical abstract summarizes the comprehensive framework of mutton quality, including evaluation indices, influencing factors, and improvement strategies. Meat quality is systematically assessed through multiple dimensions, including flavor, color, pH, tenderness, water‐holding capacity, intramuscular fat, and nutritional composition.

Studies on Mannans. VIII

NIPPON KAGAKU KAISHI, 1939
1. 蒟蒻マンナンを加熱するときは不溶解となると云ふ報告あり.筆者は之を追試し,該事實を認めず.此結果は粗蒟蒻粉を加熱する時最も明なり.加熱温度は120°, 200°,加熱時間は1-50時間,試料は蒟蒻マンナン(粗標品及び精製標品),蒟蒻マンニンA,蒟蒻マンニンBの夫々の粉末及び乾燥の状態.2. 蒟蒻マンナン精製には筆者の採れるもの(I)の外兩個の方法あり. Pankreatinを粗蒟蒻水膠液に加へ,濾液よりマンナンを沈澱せしむる方法(II,後藤)とFehling液を加へマンナン銅化合物として分ち鹽酸にてマンナンを再生する方法(III,西田,羽島)とあり.之を追試し三法の利害得失を比較せり. IIにては蒟蒻マンニンAなる低粘度の物質を得.

Effects of Diet Composition and Yeast Cell Wall Supplementation on Ruminal Fermentation, Gas Kinetics, Methane Production and Digestibility Assessed In Vitro Using Gas Production and DaisyII Incubator Systems

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 3, May 2026.
This study evaluated the effects of yeast cell wall (YCW) supplementation in diets with varying roughage‐to‐concentrate (R:C) ratios using in vitro techniques. The results demonstrated that YCW supplementation significantly reduced total gas and methane production, particularly in high‐roughage diets, without compromising dry matter digestibility or ...
