Trehalose is a natural α-linked disaccharide composed of α-glucose units that is found in plants, animals, bacteria, and fungi. Trehalose has high water retention capabilities and can be used to form gels or prevent desiccation. Derivatives of trehalose exhibit anticancer, anti-metastatic, and neuromodulatory activities; they may also induce autophagy and modulate activity of toll-like receptors (TLRs).
