Mycelium-Infused 3D Bioprinting for Next-Generation Tissue Engineering
Mycelium-based bioinks incorporating chitin and β-glucan constitute an emerging research frontier in tissue engineering for 3D bioprinting.
Chitin and Its Structural Role in the Fungal Cell Wall
Chitin, the structural polysaccharide of fungal cell walls, serves as a critical barrier that governs the bioavailability of bioactive compounds.
Vagus Nerve Signaling and Fungal Bioactives: Mapping the Gut-Brain Axis Literature
The vagus nerve serves as the principal neural conduit between the gut and the brain. As a key component of the autonomic nervous system, it plays a central role in mediating interactions with the gut microbiome, including its fungal constituents, as documented in the scientific literature.
