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.

Carvacrol Encapsulation in Chitosan–Carboxymethylcellulose–Alginate Nanocarriers for Postharvest Tomato Protection

mycolabadmin

Researchers created tiny nanocarriers made from natural biopolymers that can deliver carvacrol, a natural antimicrobial compound from oregano and thyme, to protect tomatoes from fungal rot after harvest. These nano-sized delivery systems were more effective than the unencapsulated carvacrol at fighting three common postharvest fungal pathogens. The treatment is safe and could offer a sustainable alternative to conventional fungicides for keeping harvested tomatoes fresh longer.

Precise Magnetic Stimulation of the Paraventricular Nucleus Improves Sociability in a Mouse Model of ASD

mycolabadmin

Researchers developed a new magnetic stimulation technique using tiny iron nanoparticles to precisely target a specific brain region called the paraventricular nucleus. When stimulated at 10 Hz, this region releases oxytocin, a hormone that improves social behavior. In mice with autism-like symptoms, one week of this treatment significantly improved their sociability and reduced anxiety, offering a promising non-invasive therapy for autism.

Addressing filamentous fungi-related onychomycosis in the era of antifungal resistance: assessment of Zataria multiflora nanostructured lipid carrier topical gel in a double-blinded clinical trial

mycolabadmin

Nail fungal infections (onychomycosis) are difficult to treat, especially as fungi become resistant to standard antifungal medications. Researchers tested a new gel made from Zataria multiflora (Shirazi thyme) packaged in special nanoparticles that help the medicine penetrate the nail better. In a clinical trial comparing this gel to placebo, the Zataria multiflora treatment showed better results after just 2 weeks, with 70% of patients experiencing fungal cure compared to 55% with placebo.
