Curcumin-Encapsulated Glucan Nanoparticles as an Oxidative Stress Modulator against Human Hepatic Cancer Cells
Tiago Roquito,Mariana Colaço,João Panão Costa,Olga Borges +3 more
TL;DR: Curcumin-encapsulated glucan nanoparticles (GC111 and GC398) modulate oxidative stress in human hepatic cancer cells, with smaller GC111 NPs inducing greater cell viability reduction and ROS production, suggesting potential for future cancer treatment studies.

Innate Immune Recognition
TL;DR: Microbial recognition by Toll-like receptors helps to direct adaptive immune responses to antigens derived from microbial pathogens to distinguish infectious nonself from noninfectious self.
Medicinal mushrooms as a source of antitumor and immunomodulating polysaccharides.
TL;DR: The present review analyzes the pecularities of polysaccharides derived from fruiting bodies and cultured mycelium in selected examples of medicinal mushrooms and concludes that high molecular weight glucans appear to be more effective than those of low molecular weight.

Collaborative Induction of Inflammatory Responses by Dectin-1 and Toll-like Receptor 2
TL;DR: This report examines how dectin-1, a lectin family receptor for β-glucans, collaborates with TLRs in recognizing microbes and demonstrates that collaborative recognition of distinct microbial components by different classes of innate immune receptors is crucial in orchestrating inflammatory responses.
Innate immunity: an overview.
TL;DR: The effector arm of innate immunity has been tackled, largely though the use of biochemical methods, and genetic dissection of innate immune pathways has been pursued with great success in model organisms.
