Modulating effects of Phellinus linteus polysaccharides on antioxidant capacity, immune function, intestinal function and microbiota in lipopolysaccharide-challenged broilers

Researchers studied how a medicinal mushroom extract called Phellinus linteus polysaccharides could help broiler chickens recover from immune stress caused by bacterial toxins. The supplement improved the chickens’ growth, reduced harmful inflammatory responses, and promoted beneficial gut bacteria while reducing harmful ones. The treatment strengthened the intestinal barrier and restored the chickens’ natural antioxidant defenses. This suggests the mushroom supplement could be a natural alternative to antibiotics for improving poultry health on farms.

Symbiotic Fungus Serendipita indica as a Natural Bioenhancer Against Cadmium Toxicity in Chinese Cabbage

This research shows that a beneficial fungus called Serendipita indica can help Chinese cabbage plants survive cadmium contamination. When the fungus colonizes plant roots, it triggers the plant’s natural defense systems to produce protective compounds and reduce heavy metal damage. This finding offers farmers an eco-friendly, biological solution for growing vegetables safely in contaminated soils without harmful chemical treatments.

Antagonistic potential and analytical profiling of plant probiotic bacteria using chromatography and mass spectrometry techniques against Botrytis cinerea and Fusarium oxysporum

Researchers discovered that certain beneficial bacteria can fight plant diseases caused by harmful fungi. Two bacteria strains showed exceptional ability to inhibit the growth of disease-causing fungi that damage crops. These bacteria produce natural compounds like phenols and organic acids that help plants grow better and resist diseases. This research suggests these bacteria could be used as natural alternatives to chemical pesticides for sustainable farming.

Comparative Efficacy of Antrodia cinnamomea on Liver Function Biomarkers in Mice and Rats: A Network Meta-Analysis

This study compared different extracts from a medicinal mushroom called Antrodia cinnamomea to see which ones work best for protecting liver health. Researchers analyzed data from multiple animal studies and found that extracts rich in compounds called triterpenoids were the most effective at improving liver function and reducing inflammation. The findings suggest that this mushroom could potentially become a natural treatment option for liver disease in the future.

Lipid Fraction from Agaricus brasiliensis as a Potential Therapeutic Agent for Lethal Sepsis in Mice

Researchers tested a special extract from the Agaricus brasiliensis mushroom (rich in a compound called ergosterol) to treat severe sepsis, a life-threatening blood infection, in mice. When mice were given this mushroom extract alone, 67% survived, and when combined with antibiotics, 100% survived compared to none with saline alone. The extract reduced inflammation, protected the liver, fought bacteria, and reduced harmful free radicals in the body, suggesting it could be a valuable addition to antibiotic treatment for sepsis.
