Biosensors Based on Phenol Oxidases (Laccase, Tyrosinase, and Their Mixture) for Estimating the Total Phenolic Index in Food-Related Samples

This review discusses specialized sensors that can quickly measure the total amount of beneficial plant compounds (phenolics) in foods like tea, wine, coffee, and fruits. These biosensors use enzymes from mushrooms and other sources to detect phenolic compounds more efficiently than traditional methods. The sensors can be made more effective by using tiny materials called nanomaterials, which improve how well they work and how long they last.

Gut fungi are associated with human genetic variation and disease risk

mycolabadmin

Researchers discovered for the first time how human genes influence the fungi living in our gut and how this connection affects heart disease risk. They found that a yeast called Kazachstania is regulated by a gene called CDH13, and people with certain genetic variants have less of this beneficial yeast and higher risk of heart disease. This groundbreaking study shows that our genetics don’t just affect bacteria in our gut—they also shape our fungal community, which has real implications for heart health.
