Heavy Metal-Contaminated Soils and Gastric Cancer Risk: Molecular Insights and the Relevance of a One Health Perspective

mycolabadmin

Heavy metals like cadmium, arsenic, and lead contaminate agricultural soils and accumulate in crops such as rice and vegetables, which people consume as part of their daily diet. These metals damage stomach cell DNA and trigger inflammation, increasing cancer risk, especially when combined with bacterial infections like H. pylori. A comprehensive approach monitoring soil quality, crop safety, and human health together can help prevent this disease and protect communities from contamination.

Whole-Genome Sequencing and Comparative Genomics Analysis of the Wild Edible Mushroom (Gomphus purpuraceus) Provide Insights into Its Potential Food Application and Artificial Domestication

mycolabadmin

Scientists sequenced the complete genetic code of Gomphus purpuraceus, a wild mushroom eaten in southwest China for hundreds of years. By comparing its genes to other edible mushrooms, researchers discovered it likely forms beneficial partnerships with trees and can break down some plant material. The study shows this mushroom can efficiently use simple sugars like sucrose and maltose for growth, which could help farmers grow it commercially while preserving this rare species.

Proteins from Edible Mushrooms: Nutritional Role and Contribution to Well-Being

mycolabadmin

Mushrooms are highly nutritious foods containing proteins as complete and high-quality as meat, with unique compounds that boost immunity, fight infections, and may help prevent diseases like cancer and diabetes. Different types of mushroom proteins have specific health benefits, from strengthening immune systems to lowering blood pressure and fighting viruses. Scientists are finding new ways to grow mushrooms and extract their proteins for use in sports nutrition, medicines, and fortified foods, making them increasingly valuable for human health and sustainability.
