Continuous motion of particles attached to cavitation bubbles

mycolabadmin

Researchers discovered that cavitation bubbles (tiny bubbles created by ultrasound) can push particles through liquid in a controlled manner. The bubbles expand and collapse in a way that creates a net forward push, similar to a pulse engine. This discovery could revolutionize drug delivery by allowing medications to be attached to particles and guided through the body using ultrasound, potentially improving treatments for heart disease and cancer.

Assessment of the Impact of Metals in Wild Edible Mushrooms from Dambovita County, Romania, on Human Health

mycolabadmin

This study examined 18 types of wild mushrooms commonly eaten in Romania to measure their metal content. Researchers found that while mushrooms provide important minerals like iron and zinc, some species accumulate harmful metals like cadmium and chromium. Children are at greater risk from eating these mushrooms than adults because their smaller bodies absorb proportionally more of the contaminants. Some mushroom species pose significant cancer risks from metal exposure.

Fungal β-Glucans: Biological Properties, Immunomodulatory Effects, Diagnostic and Therapeutic Applications

mycolabadmin

β-glucans are natural substances found in yeast and fungi that help boost the immune system and fight cancer. They can be measured in blood to diagnose serious fungal infections and may help prevent common illnesses like colds and respiratory infections. Recent research suggests they could be useful additions to vaccines and may help patients recovering from COVID-19.

Enhancing the Nutritional Properties of Bread by Incorporating Mushroom Bioactive Compounds: The Manipulation of the Pre-Dictive Glycaemic Response and the Phenolic Properties

mycolabadmin

This study shows that adding mushroom powder to bread can make it healthier. The mushroom-enriched bread had lower predicted blood sugar responses and higher antioxidant levels compared to regular bread. The mushrooms provided extra fiber, protein, and beneficial compounds that interact with bread components to improve nutritional quality. These results suggest mushroom-enriched bread could be a practical way to help people maintain stable blood sugar levels while enjoying traditional bread.
