Editorial: Biosurfactants – next-generation biomolecules for enhanced biodegradation of organic pollutants, volume II

mycolabadmin

Organic pollutants like oil, plastics, and pesticides are dangerous because they persist in the environment and accumulate in living organisms. Biosurfactants are eco-friendly molecules produced by microorganisms that can help break down these stubborn pollutants more effectively than traditional chemical methods. This research shows that biosurfactants can be produced cheaply using agricultural waste and have potential applications in cleaning up oil spills, treating contaminated soil, and even healing wounds.

Mushrooms-Rich Preparations on Wound Healing: From Nutritional to Medicinal Attributes

mycolabadmin

Mushrooms are nutritious foods that contain beneficial compounds like β-glucans and polysaccharides which can help wounds heal faster. These compounds work by activating immune cells and promoting collagen production, which are essential for skin repair. Research shows that mushroom extracts from species like Ganoderma lucidum and Hericium erinaceus can accelerate wound closure in experimental models and may benefit diabetic wound care and burn treatment.

Antimicrobial and prebiotic properties of Weissella confusa B4-2 exopolysaccharide and its effects on matrix metalloproteinase genes expression

mycolabadmin

Researchers discovered that a bacterium called Weissella confusa produces a sticky substance (exopolysaccharide) that has multiple health benefits. This substance fights harmful bacteria, acts as an antioxidant, helps heal wounds, and may slow down skin aging by reducing proteins that break down collagen. Because this bacterium produces much more of this substance than other commonly studied bacteria, it could be used in food preservation, health supplements, and anti-aging skincare products.

Biobased Materials from Microbial Biomass and Its Derivatives

mycolabadmin

This review explores how scientists are creating environmentally friendly materials using microorganisms like yeast, fungi, and bacteria instead of petroleum. These microbial-based materials can form flexible films suitable for food packaging and other applications. They are biodegradable, renewable, and can even be made from waste products generated by brewing and other industries. This approach offers a sustainable solution to plastic pollution while supporting a circular economy.

Latest advance anti-inflammatory hydrogel wound dressings and traditional Lignosus rhinoceros used for wound healing agents

mycolabadmin

This review examines modern hydrogel wound dressings and traditional medicinal mushrooms like Lignosus rhinoceros for treating wounds. Hydrogels are water-absorbing materials that mimic natural tissue and help wounds heal by maintaining moisture, preventing infection, and promoting cell growth. Traditional mushrooms offer anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory properties that could complement modern dressing technologies for better wound healing outcomes.

Sodium Alginate Modifications: A Critical Review of Current Strategies and Emerging Applications

mycolabadmin

Sodium alginate is a natural substance from seaweed that is safe to eat and widely used in foods, medicines, and environmental cleanup. Scientists have developed various ways to modify sodium alginate to make it stronger, more stable, and better at specific jobs like delivering medicines or creating edible packaging. This review explains both the gentle, food-safe ways to modify alginate for food products and stronger chemical methods used for medical and environmental applications. The modifications allow alginate to work better in areas like wound healing, removing pollutants from water, and protecting food freshness.

Whole genome sequencing and annotations of Trametes sanguinea ZHSJ

mycolabadmin

Scientists have completely mapped the genetic code of Trametes sanguinea, a medicinal mushroom used in traditional Chinese medicine. They identified over 10,000 genes and analyzed how this mushroom produces compounds that fight tumors, boost immunity, protect the heart, and fight viruses. This genetic map will help researchers understand how to produce these beneficial compounds and develop new medicines from this mushroom.

Phytochemical Composition and Wound Healing Properties of Echinacea angustifolia DC. Root Hydroalcoholic Extract

mycolabadmin

Echinacea angustifolia, a traditional medicinal plant, was studied for its wound-healing abilities using laboratory tests. Scientists found that the plant extract contains powerful antioxidant compounds, particularly one called echinacoside, and can help skin cells move and multiply to close wounds faster. The extract also reduces inflammation and protects cells from damage, supporting its long-standing traditional use for treating wounds and burns.

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.

Functionalized Micellar Membranes from Medicinal Mushrooms as Promising Self-Growing Bioscaffolds

mycolabadmin

Researchers created special membranes from medicinal mushrooms that could be used for wound healing and skin repairs. These membranes were grown in laboratory conditions and then treated with mango peel extract, which gave them antimicrobial properties to fight bacteria. The membranes are biodegradable, environmentally friendly, and work similar to the structure of skin tissue, making them promising for medical applications.
