β-Glucan—A promising immunocyte-targeting drug delivery vehicle: Superiority, applications and future prospects
β-Glucan as a promising immune cell-targeting drug delivery system: Advantages, uses, and future possibilities
AI simplified
Abstract
β-glucans are recognized as promising carriers for drug delivery due to their unique structure and immunocompetence.
- Three types of β-glucans are highlighted: yeast β-glucan, Schizophyllan, and curdlan.
- These β-glucans have aided in delivering a range of therapeutics, including proteins, peptides, nucleic acids, and small molecular drugs.
- The review discusses various loading strategies that enhance the delivery of therapeutics to target cells or organs.
- Challenges in the development of β-glucan based delivery systems are outlined, along with potential future directions.
