Innovative Bioactive Nanofibrous Materials Combining Medicinal and Aromatic Plant Extracts and Electrospinning Method

mycolabadmin

This research explains how scientists use a technique called electrospinning to create tiny, beneficial fibers from medicinal plants. By combining plant extracts like turmeric with biodegradable polymers, researchers create advanced materials that can deliver medicine, promote wound healing, and fight bacteria. These innovative fibers represent a natural approach to healthcare, bringing ancient plant wisdom into modern nanotechnology for practical medical applications.

The treasured giants: a current overview on agricultural, nutritional, bioactive, and economic potential of Macrocybe Species (Agaricales, Basidiomycota)

mycolabadmin

Macrocybe mushrooms are giant edible fungi found in tropical regions worldwide that offer significant nutritional and health benefits. These mushrooms can be cultivated using agricultural waste materials like sawdust and straw, making them an economical crop. Rich in proteins, fibers, vitamins, and medicinal compounds, they possess antimicrobial and immune-boosting properties that could benefit human health.

The Nearly Complete Genome of Grifola frondosa and Light-Induced Genes Screened Based on Transcriptomics Promote the Production of Triterpenoid Compounds

mycolabadmin

Researchers sequenced the complete genetic code of maitake mushroom (Grifola frondosa) and discovered how light exposure influences the production of beneficial compounds called triterpenoids. The high-quality genome assembly revealed 12,526 genes and showed that light triggers specific genes involved in making these medicinal compounds. This breakthrough provides a scientific foundation for growing maitake mushrooms with optimized levels of health-promoting substances.

Immunomodulatory Effects of Edible and Medicinal Mushrooms and Their Bioactive Immunoregulatory Products

mycolabadmin

Mushrooms have been used for health for thousands of years and contain special compounds that help boost the immune system and fight cancer. Scientists have identified several key active ingredients in mushrooms like polysaccharides and proteins that can activate immune cells and reduce tumors. Some mushroom products like lentinan from shiitake mushrooms have already been approved as cancer treatments in Japan. While most evidence comes from lab studies, ongoing research suggests mushroom-based medicines could become important therapeutic options.

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.

The Role of Plant Extracts in Enhancing Nutrition and Health for Dogs and Cats: Safety, Benefits, and Applications

mycolabadmin

This review examines how plant-based supplements like tea extracts, curcumin, and quercetin can improve the health of pet dogs and cats. These natural compounds act as antioxidants and anti-inflammatory agents, supporting gut health, immune function, and overall wellness in companion animals. While generally safe when properly dosed, cats and dogs metabolize these compounds differently, requiring species-specific dosing strategies to maximize benefits and minimize risks.

The anti-fatigue and sleep-aiding effects vary significantly among different recipes containing Ganoderma lucidum extracts

mycolabadmin

Different recipes made from Ganoderma lucidum mushroom have different health benefits. This study tested two recipes in mice and found that one (PGB) was better for reducing fatigue and improving exercise performance, while the other (GBS) was better for improving sleep quality. The research shows that how you prepare and combine medicinal mushroom ingredients matters for what health benefits you get.

Polysaccharides from fungi: A review on their extraction, purification, structural features, and biological activities

mycolabadmin

Mushrooms contain special compounds called polysaccharides that have powerful health benefits. Scientists have found these polysaccharides can help fight cancer, boost immunity, reduce inflammation, and manage diabetes. This review explains different ways to extract and purify these beneficial compounds from mushrooms and describes how they work in the body to provide these health benefits.

From natural laboratory to drug discovery: Chemical structures, bioactivities, and biosynthesis of meroterpenoids from Ganoderma species

mycolabadmin

This review examines special compounds called meroterpenoids found in Ganoderma mushrooms (commonly known as Reishi). Scientists have identified over 350 of these compounds from 14 different Ganoderma species. These compounds show promise for treating various health conditions including cancer, kidney disease, diabetes, and inflammatory disorders. The researchers also propose how these compounds are made inside the mushroom, which could help scientists produce them more efficiently for medical use.

Valorization and Environmental Impacts of Pecan Waste: A Critical Review

mycolabadmin

Pecan shells, which make up about half of the pecan nut and are usually discarded, contain valuable compounds with health-promoting properties like antioxidants and anti-inflammatory agents. These shells can be transformed into useful products including ingredients for food supplements and medicines, activated carbon for cleaning water, materials for making eco-friendly plastics, and energy sources. By converting pecan waste into valuable products instead of throwing it away, communities can reduce environmental pollution, improve public health, and create economic opportunities while supporting sustainable farming practices.
