Disease: oxidative stress-related conditions

Corrigendum: Compounds purified from edible fungi fight against chronic inflammation through oxidative stress regulation

mycolabadmin

This article is a correction to a previous study about beneficial compounds found in edible mushrooms. The study examined how various mushroom-derived substances like polysaccharides and peptides can combat chronic inflammation by reducing oxidative stress in the body. Multiple mushroom species were analyzed for their antioxidant properties and mechanisms of action. The corrections ensure proper citation of the original research sources while maintaining the core scientific findings.

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

mycolabadmin

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.

Arsenic Stress Resistance in the Endophytic Fungus Cladosporium cladosporioides: Physiological and Transcriptomic Insights into Heavy Metal Detoxification

mycolabadmin

Researchers discovered a special fungus called Cladosporium cladosporioides living inside the roots of Gentiana yunnanensis, a traditional Chinese medicinal herb. This fungus is remarkably good at tolerating and neutralizing arsenic, a toxic heavy metal found in contaminated soils. The fungus uses multiple strategies to protect itself from arsenic damage, including moving the arsenic to its cell walls, converting it into less toxic forms, and activating protective defense systems.

Green Valorization Strategies of Pleurotus ostreatus and Its By-Products: A Critical Review of Emerging Technologies and Sustainable Applications

mycolabadmin

Oyster mushrooms generate large amounts of agricultural waste including stems, leftover plant material, and spent growing substrate. These waste products contain many healthy compounds like fiber, β-glucans, and antioxidants that are usually thrown away. Scientists are developing new extraction technologies using ultrasound, microwaves, and other methods to recover these beneficial compounds from mushroom waste for use in functional foods like meat products, baked goods, and dairy items, reducing waste while creating healthier food ingredients.
