Multi-Organism Composites: Combined Growth Potential of Mycelium and Bacterial Cellulose

Scientists combined two biological materials—mycelium (fungal roots) and bacterial cellulose—to create new sustainable composites. Through a series of experiments, they found these organisms could grow together successfully when using knitted fabric as a scaffold. The main challenge was preventing mold contamination when both organisms were alive, but the resulting materials showed strong attachment and diverse functional possibilities. This research could lead to new eco-friendly materials for architecture and design.

Biosynthesis of bimetallic silver–copper oxide nanoparticles using endophytic Clonostachys rosea ZMS36 and their biomedical applications

Scientists discovered a special fungus living inside a medicinal plant that can create tiny silver-copper nanoparticles with powerful antibacterial and anti-cancer properties. These nanoparticles successfully fought dangerous bacteria like MRSA and slowed the growth of cancer cells while being safe to healthy cells. This green manufacturing method is much more environmentally friendly than traditional chemical approaches and could lead to new treatments for infections and cancer.

Chlorophyllum molybdites-synthesized manganese oxide nanoparticles (MnO-NPs): morphology, biocompatibility, and anticancer properties against liver cancer (HepG2) cell line

Researchers successfully created tiny manganese oxide particles using a wild mushroom called Chlorophyllum molybdites through an environmentally friendly process. These nanoparticles showed strong cancer-fighting ability against liver cancer cells and were effective against a parasite that causes leishmaniasis. The particles were safe for human use with minimal damage to healthy blood cells, making them promising candidates for developing new cancer and parasitic disease treatments.
