Bioactive Potential of Tocosh Supplemented with Selenium-Enriched Saccharomyces Cerevisiae Biomass

mycolabadmin

Researchers enhanced a traditional Peruvian fermented potato food called tocosh by adding selenium-enriched yeast. This combination reduced inflammation markers in immune cells without affecting its blood sugar impact or antioxidant properties. The resulting product shows promise as a functional food that could help people manage inflammatory conditions while improving nutritional content.

Formulation, characterization, and in vitro antifungal evaluation of liposomal terbinafine prepared by the ethanol injection method

mycolabadmin

Researchers developed a new way to deliver the antifungal drug terbinafine using tiny fat-based particles called liposomes. These particles are designed to carry the drug more effectively to infected tissues while reducing harmful side effects. The optimized formulation showed promise for treating stubborn fungal infections, especially those affecting the brain, with significantly reduced toxicity compared to the drug alone.

Physicochemical Characteristics of Chitosan Extracted from Pleurotus ostreatus and Its Anticancer Activity Against the MDA-MB-231 Breast Cancer Cell Line

mycolabadmin

Researchers extracted a compound called chitosan from oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus ostreatus) and tested its ability to fight breast cancer cells. The chitosan successfully killed cancer cells by triggering apoptosis, a natural cell death process, while showing promise as a safer alternative to conventional chemotherapy. The study demonstrates that mushroom-derived compounds could have significant therapeutic potential for cancer treatment with fewer side effects than traditional drugs.
