Glucan particles (GPs) from Saccharomyces cerevisiae consist mainly of β-1,3-d-glucan. Curcumin is a phenolic compound of plant origin. A 24 h incubation with a mixture of GPs and curcumin increased the expression of the Nrf2 protein and increased the activation of the Nrf2-ARE system significantly.

Aims: Carboxylesterase (Ces)1f is implicated in protection against hepatic inflammation, but it is unclear whether the enzyme has an influence in polarization of Kupffer cells (KCs), the innate immune cells mediating hepatic inflammatory injury including acute liver failure (ALF). In the present study, we aim to explore KC polarization induced by Ces1f in mice with lipopolysaccharide/D-galactosamine (LPS/D-GalN)-induced ALF. We adopted a novel delivery system, β-1,3-D-glucan-encapsulated Endoporter-siRNA particles, to specifically target KC Ces1f knockdown via tail vein injection in mice.

ASPN-1, a novel glucan with a molecular weight of 33.31 kDa, was purified from Acanthopanax senticosus stems, characterized in structure, and evaluated for antitumor potential. The analysis of the structure of ASPN-1 revealed that it consisted of a backbone constructed from →4)-α-D-Glcp-(1 → glucosyls, branched at the O-3 position by an α-D-Glcp-(1 → residue and at the O-6 positions with α-D-Glcp-(1 → 6)-α-D-Glcp-(1 → and/or α-D-Glcp-(1 → residues.

The rapid expansion of medical nanotechnology has significantly broadened the potential applications of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs). While CNCs were initially developed for drug delivery, they are now being investigated for a range of advanced biomedical applications. As these applications evolve, it becomes crucial to understand the physicochemical behavior of CNCs in biologically relevant media to optimize their design and ensure biocompatibility.

Introduction: Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic intestinal disease characterized by spleen-lung qi deficiency and dampness-pathogenic obstruction. Although there are various treatment options available, patients frequently encounter significant drug-related side effects. Previous studies have shown the potential of A (CPA) in treating UC, but their limited bioavailability has restricted their clinical use.
