Airway Epithelial Repair by a Prebiotic Mannan Derived from Saccharomyces cerevisiae

In asthmatic airways, repeated epithelial damage and repair occur. No current therapy directly targets this process. We aimed to determine the effects of mannan derived from S. cerevisiae (SC-MN) on airway epithelial wound repair, in vitro. The presence of functional mannose receptors in bronchial e...
