Jocelyn StrandGUEST
So those are the three cells that have these receptors.
Jocelyn StrandGUEST
And beta-glucan, when it's in the bloodstream, will bind, or even introduced to those cells in the gastrointestinal tract, does a perfect binding with the, uh, what's called a Dectin-1 receptor and the CR3 receptor.
Jocelyn StrandGUEST
[clears throat] So two different receptors that will then induce this cascade.
Jocelyn StrandGUEST
And you know how...
Robert RountreeGUEST
So they've even found the names of the receptor.
Robert RountreeGUEST
There's one called Dectin-1, another one called Complement Receptor 3.
Robert RountreeGUEST
Dectin-1 may be the most important one, but there's still research going on.
Robert RountreeGUEST
So, I mean, they've really gone into the weeds on how this stuff works.
Robert RountreeGUEST
And that's very different than saying, well, we think reishi works because a lot of people have used it for thousands of years.
Mohi SaraugiHOST
Our innate immune system has receptors capable of recognizing these fungal beta-glucans.
Mohi SaraugiHOST
One of the best known is called Dectin-1.
Mohi SaraugiHOST
When it recognizes beta-glucan, it can trigger a cascade of immune signaling.
Mohi SaraugiHOST
And researchers are investigating something even more intriguing called trained immunity.
