β-D-Glucan is a natural, non-digestible polysaccharide known for its high biocompatibility. It is selectively recognized by receptors such as Dectin-1 and Toll-like receptors, and is readily internalized by murine or human macrophages, indicating its potential for targeted delivery applications. Additionally, it can function as an enteric delivery vehicle for probiotics.
