Use of Medicinal Mushrooms in Layer Ration

mycolabadmin

This review discusses how medicinal mushrooms can be added to chicken feed to improve egg production and boost chicken health, offering a natural alternative to antibiotics. Several types of mushrooms like shiitake and oyster mushrooms have been shown to increase egg quality, strengthen immunity against diseases, and reduce cholesterol in eggs. These findings support the use of mushrooms as a sustainable solution for organic egg farming without compromising production or health.

Mushrooms, Microdosing, and Mental Illness: The Effect of Psilocybin on Neurotransmitters, Neuroinflammation, and Neuroplasticity

mycolabadmin

This review examines how psilocybin, the active compound in certain mushrooms, may help treat depression and anxiety by reducing brain inflammation and promoting healthy neurotransmitter function. Both full doses under medical supervision and smaller ‘microdoses’ show promise for mental health conditions. The research suggests psilocybin works by calming the immune system’s inflammatory response while simultaneously supporting the brain’s natural healing and adaptation processes, offering a potential alternative treatment when standard medications don’t work.

Amelioration of Ulcerative Colitis in BALB/c Mice by Probiotic-Fermented Aegle marmelos Juice

mycolabadmin

Researchers tested a fermented bael fruit juice with probiotics as a treatment for ulcerative colitis in mice. The mice treated with this juice showed significant improvement in weight recovery, reduced inflammation markers, and increased antioxidant protection compared to untreated diseased mice. The fermentation process increased the beneficial compounds in the juice. These results suggest that probiotic-fermented bael fruit juice could be a natural and effective treatment option for people with ulcerative colitis.

The Inhibitory Effects of Cordyceps militaris ARA301 Extract on Lipopolysaccharide-Induced Lung Injury in vivo

mycolabadmin

Researchers tested a mushroom extract from Cordyceps militaris to see if it could protect mice from lung injury caused by bacterial toxins. The extract successfully reduced inflammation, prevented excessive mucus production, and decreased immune cell buildup in the lungs. These findings suggest that this mushroom extract could potentially be used as a natural supplement to help prevent respiratory diseases and support lung health.

Exploring the Wound Healing Potential of Hispidin

mycolabadmin

Hispidin, a natural compound from medicinal mushrooms, shows promise as a wound healing treatment. Research demonstrates that hispidin can kill harmful bacteria, stimulate skin cell growth and migration, reduce inflammation, and improve wound closure when applied as an ointment. The 5% hispidin ointment performed as well as or better than standard wound treatments in rat studies, with no toxic side effects observed, suggesting potential for future wound care products.

A Systematic Review on Important Risk Factors and Possible Involved Mechanisms of Medicinal Plants on Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease

mycolabadmin

This comprehensive review examined 43 medicinal plants that can help prevent and treat fatty liver disease (NAFLD), which is increasingly common in developed countries. Most of these plants work by reducing cholesterol and triglycerides, helping with weight management, improving blood sugar control, and lowering blood pressure. The plants contain natural compounds like flavonoids and polyphenols that reduce inflammation and oxidative stress in the liver. Using these herbal supplements alongside other lifestyle changes may offer a promising natural approach to managing NAFLD and its related conditions.

Microfungus Podosphaera fusca and the Fungus-like Organism Peronospora ficariae as Potential Inhalant Allergens in a Mouse Model of Asthma

mycolabadmin

This study found that two types of plant fungi, Podosphaera fusca and Peronospora ficariae, can trigger asthma-like reactions in mice similar to known allergens. While these fungi produce weaker responses than the standard allergen ovalbumin, they still cause significant inflammation, immune activation, and airway changes. The research suggests these plant parasites should be added to the list of recognized allergens that may trigger respiratory problems in humans.

Microfungus Podosphaera fusca and the Fungus-like Organism Peronospora ficariae as Potential Inhalant Allergens in a Mouse Model of Asthma

mycolabadmin

This study investigated whether two plant parasites that cause powdery and downy mildew could trigger asthma-like reactions in mice. Researchers found that extracts from these fungi induced immune responses similar to those caused by known allergens like ovalbumin, though somewhat weaker. The results suggest these organisms should be recognized as potential sources of respiratory allergies in humans. This finding may help explain some cases of allergies where the specific cause has been difficult to identify.

Recent Discoveries on Marine Organism Immunomodulatory Activities

mycolabadmin

Scientists are discovering that creatures from the ocean produce powerful substances that can help our immune system fight diseases like cancer and inflammation. These marine organisms—from tiny algae to sponges to fish—create natural compounds that can either boost or calm down our immune response depending on what we need. Several of these ocean-derived medicines are already approved for treating serious diseases, and many more are being tested in clinical trials. The ocean covers 70% of our planet and most of it remains unexplored, suggesting there are many more beneficial compounds waiting to be discovered.

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

mycolabadmin

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.
