Therapeutic Effects of Natural Products on Liver Cancer and Their Potential Mechanisms

mycolabadmin

This review examines how natural products from plants, fungi, and marine organisms can help treat liver cancer more safely and effectively than current drugs. These natural compounds work through multiple pathways such as triggering cancer cell death, stopping cell growth, and boosting the immune system. The research found that seven categories of natural products show promise, with sources ranging from ginseng and turmeric to mushrooms and seaweed, offering potential new treatment options that could reduce side effects and drug resistance.

Diversity and bioprospecting activities of endophytic Fungi associated with different Egyptian medicinal plants

mycolabadmin

Scientists studied fungi that live inside Egyptian medicinal plants and found that one type called Aspergillus terreus produces compounds with powerful healing properties. These compounds can fight harmful bacteria, reduce oxidative damage, and even kill cancer cells while being safe for normal cells. This discovery suggests that fungi living in medicinal plants could be valuable sources of new medicines, offering hope for developing new treatments for infections and cancer.

Attraction, Oviposition and Larval Survival of the Fungus Gnat, Lycoriella ingenua, on Fungal Species Isolated from Adults, Larvae, and Mushroom Compost

mycolabadmin

This research investigated what attracts fungus gnats to mushroom growing facilities and what causes them to lay eggs there. The study found that different fungi present in mushroom compost work together – some attract the flies while others trigger egg-laying. This knowledge could help develop better ways to control these destructive pests in mushroom farms. Impacts on everyday life: • Could lead to more effective and environmentally-friendly pest control in mushroom farms • May help reduce crop losses and keep mushroom prices stable for consumers • Provides insight into controlling similar pests in other agricultural settings • Demonstrates the complex relationships between insects and fungi in agriculture • Could help improve food security by protecting valuable mushroom crops

Attraction, Oviposition and Larval Survival of the Fungus Gnat, Lycoriella ingenua, on Fungal Species Isolated from Adults, Larvae, and Mushroom Compost

mycolabadmin

This research investigated what attracts fungus gnats to mushroom growing facilities and what causes them to lay eggs. The study found that different fungi present in mushroom compost attract female flies and influence where they lay their eggs. This knowledge could help develop better ways to control these destructive pests in mushroom farms. Impacts on everyday life: • Could lead to better pest control methods for mushroom farmers • May help reduce crop losses and keep mushroom prices stable • Provides insight into managing agricultural pests more sustainably • Could reduce the need for chemical pesticides in mushroom production • Demonstrates the complex relationships between insects and fungi in agriculture
