From Structure to Function: How Prebiotic Diversity Shapes Gut Integrity and Immune Balance

mycolabadmin

This comprehensive review explains how prebiotics—special dietary fibers that feed beneficial gut bacteria—help maintain a healthy digestive system and strong immune response. By nourishing good bacteria and directly strengthening the intestinal barrier, prebiotics can reduce harmful inflammation and potentially lower cancer risk. Different types of prebiotics like inulin and resistant starch work through both bacterial fermentation and direct immune cell interaction, making them promising tools for preventing various diseases.

Potential Cosmetic Applications of the Combined Extract of Panax ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum, Cordyceps militaris, and Several Asian Plants

mycolabadmin

Researchers created a combination extract from four Asian plants including ginseng, medicinal mushrooms, and other herbs to treat acne. They tested this blend in laboratories and found it effectively killed acne-causing bacteria, reduced skin inflammation, repaired the skin barrier, and reduced oily skin production. The extract was safe for skin cells and appeared to work as well as or better than standard treatments.

Advancing Nutritional Science: Contemporary Perspectives on Diet’s Role in Metabolic Health and Disease Prevention

mycolabadmin

This research collection shows how what we eat significantly impacts our metabolic health and ability to prevent diseases. Key findings include that eating more vegetables helps prevent metabolic syndrome in older adults, and certain dietary patterns combined with regular exercise reduce disease risk in young adults. The research also highlights the benefits of natural compounds like inulin and royal jelly for managing metabolic disorders, while emphasizing the importance of personalized nutrition approaches for rare conditions.

Benefits and risks of hair, skin, and nail supplements in older adults

mycolabadmin

This article reviews popular supplements that older adults, especially women, take to improve their hair, skin, and nails. While some supplements like nicotinamide show promise for sun-damaged skin, most lack strong evidence of benefit in healthy people. Important risks include biotin interfering with heart and thyroid tests, too much zinc causing copper deficiency, and excess vitamins A and E building up to toxic levels. Doctors should talk to older patients about these supplements and help them make informed decisions based on scientific evidence rather than marketing claims.

A brief overview of the medicinal and nutraceutical importance of Inonotus obliquus (chaga) mushrooms

mycolabadmin

Chaga mushrooms are a traditional medicine used for centuries in Eastern Europe and Asia that contains powerful compounds beneficial for health. These mushrooms have been shown to help fight cancer, reduce inflammation, boost immunity, and protect cells from damage through their natural antioxidants. Modern scientific research is confirming what traditional healers have known for centuries about this remarkable fungus, making it an increasingly popular natural supplement for health and wellness.

Gut Microbiome and Immune System Crosstalk in Chronic Inflammatory Diseases: A Narrative Review of Mechanisms and Therapeutic Opportunities

mycolabadmin

Your gut contains trillions of bacteria that play a crucial role in keeping your immune system balanced. When this bacterial community becomes imbalanced (dysbiosis), it can lead to chronic inflammatory diseases like arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, psoriasis, and lupus. Recent research shows that restoring a healthy gut microbiota through diet, probiotics, prebiotics, or fecal transplants may help treat these conditions by reducing inflammation and strengthening the gut barrier.

Synbiotic yogurt with nanoparticle entrapped rice straw hemicellulose for immediate probiotic support and prebiotic delivery

mycolabadmin

Scientists created a new type of yogurt that contains beneficial bacteria and special prebiotics from rice straw. The innovation uses tiny nanoparticles to protect some of the prebiotics so they reach your gut intact, while free prebiotics immediately feed the beneficial bacteria in the yogurt during storage. This dual-delivery approach keeps the yogurt fresher longer while ensuring you get maximum health benefits for your digestive system.

Lower-dose psycholytic therapy – A neglected approach

mycolabadmin

This review examines psycholytic therapy, a method using lower doses of LSD or psilocybin combined with ongoing psychotherapy to help people process psychological conflicts and trauma. Developed in Europe during the 1960s-1970s and used successfully at over 30 clinics, this approach was largely abandoned when psychedelics became illegal but is now being reconsidered. Historical research shows it was effective for anxiety, depression, and personality issues in treatment-resistant patients, with safety profiles comparable to conventional therapy.

Optimized protein extraction protocol from human skin samples

mycolabadmin

Researchers developed an improved method for extracting and analyzing proteins from human skin samples. Using specialized equipment and chemical treatments, they were able to identify about 6,000 different proteins in skin tissue, which is significantly more than previous methods could detect. This new protocol is particularly useful for studying skin diseases like fungal infections and could help identify new treatments by revealing how proteins change in diseased skin.

Bioactive Steroids Bearing Oxirane Ring

mycolabadmin

This research reviews special types of steroids that contain oxirane rings, which are highly reactive chemical structures found in marine organisms, fungi, and plants. These compounds have shown promise in treating various diseases including cancer, inflammation, and high cholesterol. Scientists used computer software to predict and analyze the biological activities of over 150 different epoxy steroids, categorizing them by the position of their oxirane ring. The findings suggest these natural compounds could be valuable for developing new medicines and understanding how chemicals interact with our bodies.
