Development and preliminary mechanistic analysis of compound effervescent hepatoprotective granules

Researchers developed a new health product combining three medicinal plants to protect the liver from injury. The mixture contains effective compounds that reduce liver inflammation, fight harmful oxidative stress, and protect liver cells from damage. Studies in rats showed the product improved liver function and reduced markers of liver damage, suggesting it could be useful for preventing and treating liver injuries caused by drugs, alcohol, or toxins.

Ultrasound-assisted extraction of neuroprotective antioxidants from Ganoderma lucidum

This research studied how to best extract healing compounds from the reishi mushroom (Ganoderma lucidum), an important traditional Chinese medicine. Using advanced extraction techniques and computer modeling, scientists identified optimal conditions that doubled the amount of beneficial antioxidants obtained compared to conventional methods. They then tested these extracts on nerve cells in the laboratory, demonstrating that the extracts effectively protected cells from oxidative damage and injury.

In Vitro Prebiotic Potential of Opuntia humifusa Leaf Extract and Its Active Constituent

Researchers studied a traditional Korean plant called Opuntia humifusa to determine if it could act as a prebiotic—a food component that promotes the growth of beneficial gut bacteria. They found that leaf extracts, particularly when prepared with 60% ethanol, effectively stimulated the growth of Lactobacillus bacteria. The active ingredient was identified as a compound called isorhamnetin glycoside, which could make this plant a natural ingredient for functional foods designed to support digestive and overall health.

Artificial intelligence-assisted optimization of extraction enhances the biological activity of Phylloporia ribis

Scientists optimized how to extract beneficial compounds from Phylloporia ribis mushrooms using artificial intelligence, finding that an AI-assisted method produced extracts with stronger antioxidant power and cancer-fighting properties than traditional statistical approaches. The optimized extracts showed promise in fighting free radicals, potentially supporting brain health against Alzheimer’s disease, and slowing cancer cell growth. This research demonstrates how combining mushroom extraction with modern AI technology could lead to more effective natural medicines.

Optimized Extraction of Bioactive Polysaccharides from Wild Mushrooms: Toward Enhanced Yield and Antioxidant Activity

Scientists optimized how to extract healthy compounds called polysaccharides from three wild mushroom species found in European forests. Using hot water extraction with carefully controlled temperature, time, and water amounts, they found that each mushroom type had different optimal conditions for getting the most beneficial compounds. The extracted polysaccharides showed strong antioxidant properties and could be used to develop new functional foods or supplements.
