Research on the Action and Mechanism of Pharmacological Components of Omphalia lapidescens

Omphalia lapidescens, a medicinal fungus used in traditional Chinese medicine, contains multiple bioactive compounds with promising health benefits. These compounds can fight parasitic infections, inhibit cancer cell growth, reduce inflammation, and provide antioxidant protection. While clinical use shows benefits especially for gastric cancer when combined with chemotherapy, more research is needed to understand how these compounds work and to improve cultivation and production methods.

Growth Phase-Dependent Changes in the Carbohydrate Metabolism of Penicillium Strains from Diverse Temperature Classes in Response to Cold Stress

This study examined how different fungal strains from cold and warm environments respond to sudden temperature drops. Researchers tracked enzyme activity related to energy production and found that fungi adapted to cold environments handle stress better than warmth-loving fungi. The type of enzyme activity and how old the fungal cells were both affected the response to cold, providing insights that could help predict how disease-causing fungi behave in cold conditions.
