Effect of Cordyceps militaris Residue and Lactiplantibacillus plantarum on Fermentation Quality and Bacterial Community of Alfalfa Silage

mycolabadmin

This research shows that waste leftover from growing medicinal mushrooms (Cordyceps militaris) can be effectively reused as an additive to improve the quality of stored animal feed (alfalfa silage). When the mushroom residue was added, it boosted beneficial bacteria that produce lactic acid, which preserved the feed better and reduced ammonia content. This finding offers an environmentally friendly way to reduce waste while simultaneously improving livestock feed quality.

Bibliometric analysis of traditional Chinese medicine for viral infections through immune modulation (2015–2025)

mycolabadmin

This research analyzed over 3,300 scientific papers published between 2015-2025 to understand how traditional Chinese medicine helps fight viral infections by boosting the immune system. The study found that research on this topic has grown significantly, especially during disease outbreaks like COVID-19, with China leading in research publications. Key findings show that traditional Chinese herbal compounds work through multiple mechanisms including directly fighting viruses, reducing excessive inflammation, and enhancing vaccine effectiveness. The research points toward promising future applications of traditional Chinese medicine when combined with modern medical approaches.

The Potential of Naturally Derived Compounds for Treating Chronic Kidney Disease: A Review of Autophagy and Cellular Senescence

mycolabadmin

This review explores how natural products from traditional Chinese medicine may help treat chronic kidney disease by targeting two key aging processes: autophagy (cellular self-cleaning) and cellular senescence (cellular aging). Common natural compounds like curcumin, green tea extract, and Astragalus have shown promise in protecting kidney function and reducing harmful inflammation. While these natural treatments show potential as complementary therapies alongside mainstream medicines, more clinical research is needed to confirm their effectiveness and determine optimal dosages.

Nature’s Own Pharmacy: Mushroom-Based Chemical Scaffolds and Their Therapeutic Implications

mycolabadmin

This comprehensive review explores how mushrooms can be used as natural medicines. Various mushroom species contain powerful compounds that can fight cancer, boost immunity, reduce inflammation, and treat infections. The paper details 15 important medicinal mushrooms and their therapeutic uses, showing that mushrooms are indeed a nature’s pharmacy with significant potential for treating many diseases.

Harnessing the Nutritional Value, Therapeutic Applications, and Environmental Impact of Mushrooms

mycolabadmin

Mushrooms are nutritional powerhouses packed with proteins, vitamins, minerals, and special compounds that fight disease. They can help prevent and manage serious conditions like cancer, heart disease, and diabetes while supporting overall health and immunity. Beyond the kitchen, mushrooms are being developed into medicines and cosmetic products. Growing and using mushrooms also helps the environment by creating sustainable alternatives to traditional medicines and animal feeds.

Bioactive Potential of Balkan Fomes fomentarius Strains: Novel Insights into Comparative Mycochemical Composition and Antioxidant, Anti-Acetylcholinesterase, and Antiproliferative Activities

mycolabadmin

This study examines three strains of Fomes fomentarius mushroom from the Balkan region, revealing they are rich sources of beneficial compounds including polyamines and phenolic compounds. These extracts demonstrated strong antioxidant properties and potential neuroprotective effects, suggesting they could help prevent diseases related to oxidative stress and aging. The research supports the traditional use of this mushroom in folk medicine and highlights its potential as a natural supplement for health promotion.

The Effect of Fungal Nutraceutical Supplementation on Postoperative Complications, Inflammatory Factors and Fecal Microbiota in Patients Undergoing Colorectal Cancer Surgery with Curative Intent: A Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, Double-Blind Clinical Trial

mycolabadmin

Researchers tested whether a supplement made from nine different medicinal mushroom types could reduce complications after colorectal cancer surgery. While the supplement didn’t significantly reduce overall complications, it did appear to boost immune function in patients undergoing traditional surgery and favorably changed the composition of gut bacteria. The supplement was well-tolerated with no serious side effects.

The Lignicolous Fungus Hericium erinaceus (Lion’s Mane Mushroom): A Promising Natural Source of Antiradical and DPPH Inhibitory Agents

mycolabadmin

Lion’s Mane mushrooms grown on a special mixture of agricultural waste materials showed the best antioxidant properties in this study. Researchers found that combining sawdust, wheat straw, bagasse, rice bran, and corn flour created the ideal growing environment. The mushrooms produced high levels of protective compounds called phenolics and flavonoids that help fight harmful free radicals in the body. This research shows how we can turn agricultural waste into valuable medicinal mushrooms with strong health benefits.

Ultrasound-assisted extraction and antioxidant activity of polysaccharides from Tenebrio molitor

mycolabadmin

Researchers successfully extracted beneficial compounds called polysaccharides from mealworms (Tenebrio molitor) using ultrasound waves, making the process faster and more efficient than traditional methods. These extracted polysaccharides demonstrated strong antioxidant properties, meaning they can help neutralize harmful free radicals in the body. The study shows that mealworm polysaccharides could be used as natural health supplements or food additives with health benefits comparable to or better than Vitamin C.

Research progress of edible mushroom polysaccharide-metal trace element complexes

mycolabadmin

This research reviews how edible mushroom polysaccharides can be combined with essential metals like iron, selenium, and zinc to create health-boosting supplements. These complexes improve how our bodies absorb and use these important minerals, offering benefits like better immune function, antioxidant protection, and potential cancer-fighting properties. Scientists are studying different ways to make these complexes and testing their effectiveness for treating various health conditions.
