Proteomic study of medicinal mushroom extracts reveals antitumor mechanisms in an advanced colon cancer animal model via ribosomal biogenesis, translation, and metabolic pathways

mycolabadmin

Scientists studied how special medicinal mushroom extracts can fight advanced colon cancer in mice. They found that a blend called Agarikon Plus, especially when combined with a common chemotherapy drug, significantly improved survival rates and slowed tumor growth. By analyzing all the proteins in tumor tissues, they discovered the mushroom extracts work by disrupting the cancer cells’ ability to make proteins they need to survive and grow. This research suggests mushroom-based treatments could become important new weapons in the fight against advanced colorectal cancer.

Mycotoxin tolerance affects larval competitive ability in Drosophila recens (Diptera: Drosophilidae)

mycolabadmin

Researchers studied fruit flies that can tolerate mushroom poisons to see if this ability comes with a cost. They found that flies with high poison tolerance from one geographic location showed delayed development and lower survival rates when competing with other larvae, but this effect was not seen in flies from another location. This suggests that the cost of tolerating poisons depends on where the flies are from.

Recent Knowledge in the Application of Saccharomyces cerevisiae in Aquaculture: A Bibliometric and Narrative Review

mycolabadmin

This comprehensive review examines how baker’s yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) is being used as a probiotic supplement in fish farming and aquaculture. The research shows that adding this yeast to fish feed improves growth rates, helps fish fight off diseases, and creates healthier gut bacteria in aquatic animals. Scientists worldwide are increasingly studying this natural alternative to antibiotics, with studies demonstrating benefits across various fish species including tilapia, trout, and catfish, making it an important tool for sustainable and healthier aquaculture practices.
