Polysaccharopeptide (PSP), from Coriolus versicolor, has been used widely as an adjuvant to chemotherapy with demonstrated anti-tumor and broad immunomodulating effects. While PSP's mechanism of action still remains unknown, its enhanced immunomodulatory potential with acacia gum is of great interes …

Did you know carbohydrates are part of the cell membrane of every living cell? Learn about how carbohydrates (glycans) work and the important role they play in how cells work! Glycans are one of the largest and most diverse molecules in nature and are key to almost all biological processes. There are many ways scientists can harness carbohydrates to improve human health. The Canadian Glycomics Network (GlycoNet) aims to use the study of carbohydrates to improve human health. Find more information at http://glyconet.ca.

Therapeutic monoclonal antibodies (TMA) provide an important means for treating diseases that were previously considered untreatable. Currently more than 40 full-size TMAs created primarily based on immunoglobulin G1 are widely used for treating various illnesses. Glycosylation of TMA is among other …

In her talk about sugar and cancer, Stanford Chemistry Professor Carolyn Bertozzi tells us why the sugar coating on our cells is crucial to our health and well-being. Unlike the sugar coating on a peanut M&M, she explains, human cells are covered with complex sugars Bertozzi shows us are, “like foliage swaying in the breeze.” The language these sugars are speaking can tell us everything from what blood type we are to whether we have cancer. Carolyn Bertozzi is the Anne T. and Robert M. Bass Professor of Chemistry and Professor of Chemical & Systems Biology and Radiology (by courtesy) at Stanford, and an investigator of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. She completed her undergraduate degree at Harvard and her doctorate at UC Berkeley. After postdoctoral work at UCSF and a professorship at UC Berkeley, she joined the faculty at Stanford coincident with the launch of Stanford ChEM-H. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx

Mushrooms have long been used for medicinal and food purposes for over a thousand years, but a complete elucidation of the health-promoting properties of mushrooms through regulating gut microbiota has not yet been fully exploited. Mushrooms comprise ...

There may be good reason to take glucosamine supplements for symptoms other than joint problems.

Are These Toxic Food Additives Derailing Your Gluten Free Diet? In this episode of the Gluten Free Warrior Podcast, I have Mira Dessy, The Ingredient Guru,

Compositions and methods for treating endothelial glycocalyx include glucosamine, hyaluronan and/or fucoidan, and one or more antioxidants, such as superoxide dismutase, catalase, and/or polyphenol. The compositions improve vascular health by exhibiting beneficial synergistic effects on endothelial glycocalyx over the benefits of taking any single component alone or the sum of reported effects of the individual components. Specifically, components of the composition (1) enhance synthesis of new glycocalyx by (a) providing and (b) increasing production of glycocalyx precursors, (2) protecting existing glycocalyx against damage, such as by oxidation degradation, by (a) providing and (b) increasing production of antioxidants, some of which associate with endothelial glycocalyx, and (3) enhance repair of damaged glycocalyx by (a) providing glycocalyx mimetics and (b) increasing the prevalence of glycocalyx scaffold for association and incorporation thereof.

This is the first report of acute behavioural improvement following plant polysaccharide intake in healthy middle-aged adults under conditions of mental fatigue. The findings suggest that certain NSP may enhance memory performance through mechanisms other than elevated blood glucose.

Sugars play a pivotal role in solving complex human health issues including heart, infectious, and neurodegenerative diseases. That was the consensus among a panel of carbohydrate experts at a public forum on November 1 in Edmonton, hosted by GlycoNet. The panel discussion, Why Sugars Matter in Fighting Disease, explored the role and significance of carbohydrates in fighting disease.
