Anti-Therapeutic Action: None reported in study

Novel Synbiotic Yogurt Formulation Supplemented with Fucoidan from Phaeophyceae Algae to Promote Limosilactobacillus reuteri and Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus GG

Researchers developed a new yogurt containing fucoidan (a compound from brown seaweed) along with beneficial bacteria that may help reduce allergy symptoms. Testing showed this special yogurt maintained high levels of protective bacteria throughout its shelf life. The combination of the seaweed compound and beneficial bacteria could offer a natural food-based approach to help people with allergies through improved gut health.

Evaluating the antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and neuroprotective potential of fruiting body and mycelium extracts from edible yellow morel (Morchella esculenta L. Pers.)

This study examined morel mushrooms from Pakistan to see if they could help treat Alzheimer’s disease and related brain conditions. Researchers tested both the fruiting bodies and the root-like mycelia of Morchella esculenta mushrooms for their ability to fight oxidative stress, reduce inflammation, and inhibit an enzyme that breaks down acetylcholine, a brain chemical important for memory. The results showed that morel extracts, especially from fruiting bodies collected in certain regions, worked as well as or better than conventional medications, suggesting these common edible mushrooms could be developed into treatments for neurodegenerative diseases.

Interplay of precision therapeutics and MD study: Calocybe indica’s potentials against cervical cancer and its interaction with VEGF via octadecanoic acid

Researchers discovered that an extract from the Calocybe indica mushroom effectively kills cervical cancer cells while leaving healthy immune cells unharmed. Using computer simulations, they identified that a compound in this mushroom called octadecanoic acid strongly binds to and blocks VEGF, a protein that helps cancer cells grow and spread. The extract reduced cancer cell movement by 50% and prevented cancer cells from forming colonies, suggesting this mushroom could become a new treatment option for cervical cancer.
