Production of fungal hypocrellin photosensitizers: Exploiting bambusicolous fungi and elicitation strategies in mycelium cultures

Hypocrellins are powerful compounds from fungi that can treat cancers and infections through light-activated therapy. Since wild sources are limited, scientists are growing these fungi in laboratory cultures and using special techniques to boost production. This review summarizes the best methods for producing hypocrellins, from choosing the right fungal strains to optimizing growing conditions and using natural stimulants to increase yields.

High Efficiency In Vitro Wound Healing of Dictyophora indusiata Extracts via Anti-Inflammatory and Collagen Stimulating (MMP-2 Inhibition) Mechanisms

This study examines bamboo mushroom extracts for their ability to promote skin wound healing. Researchers tested three different parts of immature bamboo mushrooms and found that the core extract was particularly effective at reducing inflammation and preventing excessive collagen breakdown, which helps wounds heal properly without excessive scarring. The extract performed as well as or better than standard pharmaceutical agents, suggesting it could be a promising natural ingredient for wound healing products.
