Anti-Therapeutic Action: Cytotoxicity at high concentrations

Mycosynthesis of Metal-Containing Nanoparticles—Synthesis by Ascomycetes and Basidiomycetes and Their Application

Scientists have discovered that common fungi like mushrooms and molds can produce tiny nanoparticles that fight bacteria, kill cancer cells, and speed up chemical reactions. This fungal method is much cheaper, safer, and more environmentally friendly than traditional chemical production methods. The nanoparticles can be used in medical treatments, wound dressings, water purification, and farming as natural fertilizers and pesticides.

Effects of Rhizopus oligosporus-Mediated Solid-State Fermentation on the Protein Profile and α-Glucosidase Inhibitory Activity of Selenium-Biofortified Soybean Tempeh

Researchers used a fungus called Rhizopus oligosporus to make selenium-enriched tempeh, a traditional soybean food. The selenium-enriched tempeh had better protein breakdown, higher amino acid levels, and was better at controlling blood sugar than regular tempeh. This research suggests that selenium-biofortified tempeh could be a healthy functional food for people looking to manage blood sugar levels naturally.

Recent Discoveries on Marine Organism Immunomodulatory Activities

Scientists are discovering that creatures from the ocean produce powerful substances that can help our immune system fight diseases like cancer and inflammation. These marine organisms—from tiny algae to sponges to fish—create natural compounds that can either boost or calm down our immune response depending on what we need. Several of these ocean-derived medicines are already approved for treating serious diseases, and many more are being tested in clinical trials. The ocean covers 70% of our planet and most of it remains unexplored, suggesting there are many more beneficial compounds waiting to be discovered.

Formulation, characterization, and in vitro antifungal evaluation of liposomal terbinafine prepared by the ethanol injection method

Researchers developed a new way to deliver the antifungal drug terbinafine using tiny fat-based particles called liposomes. These particles are designed to carry the drug more effectively to infected tissues while reducing harmful side effects. The optimized formulation showed promise for treating stubborn fungal infections, especially those affecting the brain, with significantly reduced toxicity compared to the drug alone.
