Special Issue: Marine-Derived Compounds Applied in Cardiovascular Disease

mycolabadmin

This collection of studies explores how compounds from ocean sources like seaweed, fish, shrimp, and microalgae can help protect heart health and prevent cardiovascular diseases. Researchers examined various marine ingredients and found they can reduce inflammation, lower cholesterol, reduce blood pressure, and prevent blood clots. The findings suggest that marine-derived products could become safer, more affordable alternatives or complements to current heart disease medications while supporting sustainable ocean resource use.

From Microbes to Myocardium: A Comprehensive Review of the Impact of the Gut-Brain Axis on Cardiovascular Disease

mycolabadmin

Your gut bacteria play a surprising role in heart health through a communication network called the gut-brain axis. When the balance of gut bacteria is disrupted (dysbiosis), it can lead to heart disease, high blood pressure, and clogged arteries. Beneficial bacteria produce helpful compounds like short-chain fatty acids that reduce inflammation and protect blood vessels, while harmful bacteria produce compounds that increase heart disease risk. Simple interventions like eating more fiber, taking probiotics, managing stress, and exercising can help maintain a healthy gut microbiome and improve heart health.

Genome Sequencing of Hericium coralloides by a Combination of PacBio RS II and Next-Generation Sequencing Platforms

mycolabadmin

Scientists successfully sequenced the complete genome of Hericium coralloides, a medicinal mushroom used in traditional Chinese medicine for treating heart disease, cancer, and stomach problems. Using advanced sequencing technology combining long-read and short-read methods, they assembled the 55 million base pair genome containing over 11,700 genes. This genetic blueprint reveals the mushroom contains genes for producing beneficial enzymes and compounds with therapeutic potential. This milestone opens the door for future research to develop new medicines based on this mushroom’s natural bioactive properties.

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.
