Cyclic β-1,2-glucans (CβG) are bacterial cyclic homopolysaccharides with interesting biotechnological applications. These ring-shaped molecules have a hydrophilic surface that confers high solubility ...
We present the production of CβG in specially designed E. coli strains by means of the deletion of intrinsic polysaccharide biosynthetic genes and the heterologous expression of enzymes involved in Cβ...
We have developed a new recombinant bacterial system for the synthesis of cyclic β-1,2-glucans, expanding the use of bacteria as a platform for the production of new polysaccharides with biotechnologi...
The production of biopolymers from waste resources is a growing trend, especially in high-population countries like Egypt. Beta-glucan (β-glucan) belongs to natural polysaccharides that are derived fr...
Ingredients of low-cost media based on agro-industrial wastes were described using Plackett-Burman and central composite design of response surface methodology for optimizing yeast β-glucan. Minerals ...
Enriching the low-cost media based on agro-industrial wastes with nutritional ingredients improves the yield of yeast β-glucan. The present study succeeds to form β-glucan nanoparticles by a simple me...
Cancer is characterized by a perturbed immune landscape. Inside tumor microenvironment, immune system is reprogrammed to facilitate tumor growth and survival rather than eliminating it. This immune ev...
A potential risk associated with vaccines for COVID-19 is antibody-dependent disease enhancement (ADE) in which vaccine induced antibody mediated immune responses may lead to enhanced SARS CoV- 2 acqu...
The grains of three barley varieties were milled and sieved to obtain respective milling fractions with a content of beta-glucans (b-G) from 1.4 to 10.7%. The enriched fraction obtained by the extract...
Monitoring immunological response to physical stressors in a field setting is challenging because existing methods require a laboratory visit and traditional blood collection via venipuncture. The pur...
Many individuals who experience preterm birth struggle with early breast milk supply, which can translate into suboptimal longer-term breastfeeding outcomes. Further investigations into the potential ...
The BLOOM study is a multicentre, double-blinded, randomised controlled trial that will assess if brewer's yeast or beta-glucan can increase early breast milk production following preterm birth. Targe...
The use of brewer's yeast as a galactagogue to enhance milk production is extremely common amongst breastfeeding mothers, however, there are no trials evaluating its efficacy and safety. This will be ...
Australian and New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry ACTRN12622000968774 (registered on 8 July 2022) and UTN U1111-1278-8827....
This research aimed to examine the potential alleviative effects of beta-glucan administration on fatigue, unrefreshing sleep, anxiety/depression symptoms and health-related quality of life in ME/CFS....
Intra-abdominal candidiasis (IAC) is difficult to predict in critically ill patients with intra-abdominal infection, leading to the overuse of antifungal treatments. Serum and peritoneal 1.3-beta-D-gl...
This prospective multicenter noninterventional French study included consecutive critically ill patients undergoing abdominal surgery for abdominal sepsis. The primary objective was to establish the I...
Between 1 January 2020 and 31 December 2022, 199 patients were included. Patients were predominantly male (63%), with a median age of 66 [54-72] years. The IAC prevalence was 44% (87/199). The main IA...
In critically ill patients with intra-abdominal infection requiring surgery, the IAC prevalence was 44%. Combining low sBDG and pBDG with a low peritonitis score effectively excluded IAC and could lim...
The study was registered with ClinicalTrials.gov (ID number 03997929, first registered on June 24, 2019)....
The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of an enhanced ONS (enriched in EPA, DHA, leucine, and beta-glucans) on the dietary intake of cancer patients....
A randomized, double-blind, parallel, controlled, and multicenter clinical trial was conducted in patients with cancer and malnutrition. The trial compared prescribed dietary advice and two packs per ...
Thirty-seven patients completed the intervention period. The combined intervention of dietary advice and ONS managed to increase the energy intake of the overall cohort by 792.55 (378.57) kcal/day, pr...
The use of an enhanced-ONS helps meet the nutritional requirements of cancer patients, especially those who have a more compromised clinical condition, with high adherence, good tolerance, and accepta...
