Basophilic Response in Patients with Persistent Symptoms Attributed to Lyme Borreliosis Treated with Hydrolysed Arabinoxylan Rice Bran
Basant K. Puri, Gary S. Lee, Georgia Tuckey, Lisa Wyness, Reine Corley, Lucy Monaghan and Sari J. Arminen2025 Background and Objectives: MGN-3/Biobran (BRM4, Lentin Plus or Ribraxx) is a natural, rice bran-derived arabinoxylan immunoceutical that modulates the adaptive immune response to viral infections. In response to bacterial infections, basophils act as “first responders” and are […]
Dieatary Supplementation with BioBran-MGN-3 Increases Innate Resistance and Reduces the Incidence of Influenza-like Illnesses s in Elderly Subjects: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Pilot Clinical Trial
Ahmed F. Elsaid , Sudhanshu Agrawal , Anshu Agrawal and Mamdooh Ghoneum2021 Abstract: Influenza-like illness (ILI) remains a major cause of severe mortality and morbidity in the elderly. Aging is associated with a decreased ability to sense pathogens and mount effective innate and adaptive immune responses, thus mandating the development of protective nutraceuticals. Biobran/MGN-3, an […]
Rice bran arabinoxylan compound and quality of life of cancer patients (RBAC – QoL): Study protocol for a randomized pilot feasibility trial
Soo Liang Ooi, Sok Cheon Pak, Peter S. Micalos , Emily Schupfer, Rob Zielinski, Thomas Jeffries, Garth Harris, Terry Golombick, David McKinnon2020 Introduction : Rice bran arabinoxylan com pound (RBAC) is a nutraceutical for enhancing a depleted immune system during and after cancer treatment. This pilot feasibility trial aims to evaluate the effects of RBAC […]
The Immunomodulating Effects of Arabinoxylan Rice Bran (Lentin) on Hematologic Profile, Nutritional Status and Quality of Life among Head and Neck Carcinoma Patients Undergoing Radiation Therapy: A Double Blind Randomized Control Trial
Dorothy Faye S. Tan, MD; Jerickson Abbie S. Flores, MD2020 Immunostimulants have been explored to reduce the complications of radiation/chemotherapy. This double blind randomized trial aimed to determine the immunomodulating effects of Lentin among head and neck cancer patients in addressing radiation treatment complications such as anemia, leukopenia, weight loss and improvement of quality of […]
Arabinoxylan rice bran (MGN-3/Biobran) alleviates radiation-induced intestinal barrier dysfunction of mice in a mitochondrion-dependent manner
Zhenguo Zhao , Wei Chengb, Wei Qu , Kai Wang2020 MGN-3 is an arabinoxylan from rice bran that has been shown to be an excellent antioxidant and radioprotector. This study examined the protective effects of MGN-3 on radiation-induced intestinal injury. Mice were treated with MGN-3 prior to irradiation, then continued to receive MGN-3 for 4 […]
Chemopreventive role of arabinoxylan rice bran, MGN-3/Biobran, on liver carcinogenesis in rats
Nariman K. Badr El-Din, Doaa A. Ali, Reem Othman, Samuel W. French, Mamdooh Ghoneum2020 Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common cancers in the world and one of the most lethal. MGN-3/Biobran is a natural product derived from rice bran hemicelluloses and has been reported to possess a potent anticancer effect in a […]
Controlled pilot study for cancer patients suffering from chronic fatigue syndrome due to chemotherapy treated with BioBran (MGN-3- Arabinoxylane) and targeted radiofrequency heat therapy
Gabriel Petrovics, Gyula Szigeti, Szilárd Hamvas, Ágnes Máté, József Betlehem, Gabriella Hegyi*2016 Introduction: Although modern therapies for cancer have improved life expectancy, the management of disease and improvement of quality of life (QoL) of patients, especially managing cancer-related pain and chronic fatigue syndrome are still limited. We demonstrate the efficacy of a combined therapy to […]
Home Products Research Distributors Contact Can a synergistic activation of pattern recognition receptors by plant immunomodulators enhance the effect of oncologic therapy? Case Report of a patient with uterus and ovary sarcoma
Tibor Hajto, Lilla Baranyai, Angelika Kirsch, Monika Kuzma and Pal Perjési2015 Background: Growing evidence supports the hypothesis that similar to microbes various plant extracts can also contain Pathogenic Associated Molecular Pattern (PAMP)-like structures which can activate type-1 cellular functions of the innate immune system. Since they are important in tumor defense and the chemical production […]
Arabinoxylan rice bran (MGN-3/Biobran) enhances natural killer cell — mediated cytotoxicity against neuroblastoma in vitro and in vivo
Anton Pérez-Martínez, Jaime Valentín, Lucía Fernández, Enrique Hernández-Jiménez, Eduardo López—Collazo, Petra Zerbes, Ellen Schworer, Fernando Nuňéz, Inmaculada Génesis Martín, Hannah Sallis, Miguel Ángel Díaz, Rupert Handgretinger & Matthias Manuel Pfeiffer2015 Background aims. Natural killer cell (NK) cytotoxic activity plays a major role in natural immunologic defences against malignancies. NK cells are emerging as a tool […]
MGN-3/BIOBRAN Enhances Generation of Cytotoxic CD8+ T Cells Via Upregulation of DEC-205 Expression on Dendritic Cells
M. Ghoneum and S. Agrawal2014 Arabinoxylan rice bran (MGN-3/Biobran) has been shown to be a potent biological response modifier (BRM) that activates different arms of the immune system, including dendritic cells (DCs), which prime CD4+ helper T-cell responses. The present study explores the ability of MGN-3-activated DCs to prime CD8+ T cells and examines the […]
