Yeast is an integral part of mammalian microbiome, and like commensal bacteria, has the
potential of being harnessed to influence immunity in clinical settings. However, functional …

β-Glucans (BGs) are glucose polymers present in the fungal cell wall (CW) and, as such, are
recognized by innate immune cells as microbial-associated pattern through Dectin-1 …

The immunomodulatory effects and signalling pathways of five water-soluble yeast β-glucan
fractions (WYG1–5) with different molecular weights (M w) and chain conformations were …

β-glucans (BG) are abundant polysaccharides of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae cell wall (Sc
CW), an industry byproduct. They have immuno-stimulatory properties upon engagement of …

β-Glucan derived from cell walls of Candida albicans is a potent immune modulator. It has
been shown to induce trained immunity in monocytes via epigenetic and metabolic …

The human fungal microbiota known as mycobiota is increasingly recognized as a critical
factor in human gut health and disease. Non-pathogenic commensal yeasts such as …

The dietary supplement and prebiotic values of β‐glucan‐rich products have been widely
recognized and dietary approaches for modulating autoimmunity have been increasingly …

Fungal pathogens can be recognized by the immune system via their β-glucan, a potent
proinflammatory molecule that is present at high levels but is predominantly buried beneath …

Recent advances on brewer's yeast cell wall polysaccharides have unraveled exquisite
structural features and diverse composition with (β1→ 3),(β1→ 6),(α1→ 4),(β 1→ 4)-mix …

Most of the reported yeast polysaccharides are a mixture of chitin, β-glucan and
mannoprotein, leading to different biological activities. Herein, we report the structures and …
