TL;DR: Partially purified polysaccharides were obtained from four medicinal mushroom species, Agaricus bisporus, A. brasiliensis, Phellinus linteus and Ganoderma lucidum by hot water extraction, followed by ethanol precipitation as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: Marine macroalgae form a good, durable and virtually inexhaustible source for polyunsaturated fatty acids with an (n-6) FA: ( n-3) FA ratio of about 1.0.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that expression of a hybrid enzyme in tobacco causes a sharp reduction of N-glycans with potentially immunogenic core-bound xylose and fucose residues, which suggests that a transgenic plant expressing the hybrid GalT might yield more effective and safer monoclonals for therapeutic purposes than WT plants and even transgenic plants expressing the unchanged GalT.

TL;DR: Using one intestinal model is sufficient for comparing the relative translocation of different NPs, to choose the most representative model for risk assessment, in vivo experiments are now needed to determine the in vivo translocation rates of the used NPs.

TL;DR: Characteristics of A. bisporus make it an attractive candidate as a nutritional compound to stimulate the immune response in depressed states of immunity, and branching of the beta-glucan chain is essential for immune-stimulating activity.
