A recent study carried out by a research team from the Paul-Ehrlich-Institut investigated the immunomodulating properties of β-glucans. These are natural sugar compounds found in bacteria, fungi and grains. The results indicate that β-glucans can target the immune system and modulate pro-inflammatory responses. Their potential to suppress allergic reactions and offer new approaches to allergy treatment is particularly promising. The research was published in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences.
