Establishment of a genetic transformation system for cordycipitoid fungus Cordyceps chanhua

mycolabadmin

Scientists have successfully developed a method to genetically modify Cordyceps chanhua, an important medicinal mushroom used in traditional Chinese medicine for over 1,600 years. By optimizing how they prepare fungal cells and introduce foreign genes, they created a reliable genetic transformation system that can be used to study which genes produce beneficial compounds in this mushroom. This breakthrough will help researchers understand and potentially enhance the medicinal properties of C. chanhua.

Algal pigments: Therapeutic potential and food applications

mycolabadmin

Colorful algae contain powerful natural compounds that can help treat serious health problems like cancer, diabetes, and obesity. Scientists are using special nano-technology to deliver these algal compounds more effectively in medicines. Algae-based pigments like chlorophyll and carotenoids are already used in supplements and healthy foods to boost overall wellness. These compounds also help maintain a healthy gut and reduce inflammation in the body.

Substrate composition effect on the nutritional quality of Pleurotus ostreatus (MK751847) fruiting body

mycolabadmin

Researchers studied how different growing materials affect the nutritional value of oyster mushrooms. They found that mushrooms grown on palm oil waste mixed with wheat or rice bran had better nutritional quality than those grown on single materials. The best mushrooms for protein came from materials containing wheat bran, while fermented materials produced the most vitamins. This research shows how agricultural waste can be recycled into nutritious food.

Advances in Bioprocess Engineering for Optimising Chlorella vulgaris Fermentation: Biotechnological Innovations and Applications

mycolabadmin

Chlorella vulgaris is a nutrient-rich microalga gaining popularity in health supplements, functional foods, and sustainable energy production. Scientists are using advanced genetic engineering techniques, special fermentation methods, and innovative bioreactor designs to increase the production of beneficial compounds like proteins and antioxidants. These improvements make Chlorella more valuable for creating health-promoting foods, medicines, and biofuels while keeping production costs low and environmentally sustainable.

Health benefits of fish and fish by-products—a nutritional and functional perspective

mycolabadmin

Fish is an excellent food that provides many important nutrients like protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and vitamins that help protect our hearts, brains, and overall health. Different fish species offer various health benefits including protecting against heart disease, diabetes, obesity, and brain disorders. However, some fish can contain harmful contaminants like mercury, so choosing safer options like salmon and cod is important for children and pregnant women.

Evaluation of Bioactive Compounds, Antioxidant Activity, and Anticancer Potential of Wild Ganoderma lucidum Extracts from High-Altitude Regions of Nepal

mycolabadmin

Researchers studied a medicinal mushroom called Ganoderma lucidum (Reishi) collected from high mountains in Nepal to understand its health benefits. They tested different ways to extract beneficial compounds from the mushroom and found that using ethanol was most effective. The extracts showed strong cancer-fighting properties against cervical cancer cells and powerful antioxidant effects that may help protect the body from damage. These findings suggest this Himalayan mushroom has real therapeutic potential for treating cancer and other diseases.

Medicinal Mushrooms: Their Bioactive Components, Nutritional Value and Application in Functional Food Production—A Review

mycolabadmin

Medicinal mushrooms like Reishi, Lion’s Mane, and Shiitake contain powerful compounds that may help fight cancer, boost immunity, and reduce inflammation. These mushrooms are low in calories and can be added to everyday foods like bread, pasta, and meat products to boost their nutritional value. While promising, more research is needed to confirm how much people should consume and whether they interact safely with medications.

Extraction, Characterization, Biological Properties, and X-Ray Fluorescence Analysis of Functional Polysaccharides Derived from Limnospira platensis

mycolabadmin

Spirulina (Limnospira platensis) is a nutrient-dense microalga that contains beneficial polysaccharides with multiple health benefits. Researchers extracted and analyzed these polysaccharides, finding they have strong antioxidant properties and can help regulate blood sugar levels by inhibiting α-glucosidase enzymes. These compounds also support beneficial gut bacteria growth, making spirulina a promising natural ingredient for functional foods and health supplements.

Grape Pomace: A Review of Its Bioactive Phenolic Compounds, Health Benefits, and Applications

mycolabadmin

Grape pomace is the leftover material from making wine, typically discarded as waste. This review shows that grape pomace is actually packed with beneficial plant compounds called phenolics that have powerful health effects. These compounds can fight bacteria, reduce inflammation, help control blood sugar, and protect heart health, making grape pomace waste valuable for creating new health products in food, cosmetics, and medicine.

Proteins from Edible Mushrooms: Nutritional Role and Contribution to Well-Being

mycolabadmin

Mushrooms are nutritional powerhouses containing as much high-quality protein as meat and soybeans, with complete amino acid profiles needed for human health. Beyond basic nutrition, mushroom proteins possess remarkable healing properties including anti-cancer, immune-boosting, and blood pressure-lowering effects. These sustainable proteins are increasingly used in food fortification, sports supplements, and therapeutic medicines. Growing mushrooms as mycelium or using novel cultivation methods makes protein production faster, more efficient, and environmentally friendly.
