Rice-grown chaga reveals genes behind valuable triterpenoids
Maximum Academic Press
A research team has uncovered candidate genes that may help explain how the medicinal fungus Inonotus obliquus, commonly known as Chaga mushroom, produces triterpenoids—bioactive compounds valued for their anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antitumor potential.

Weathered microplastics selectively capture organic matter in water
Maximum Academic Press
A research team has shown that microplastics do not interact with dissolved organic matter in a uniform way: their polymer type, environmental aging history, and the chemical composition of surrounding organic matter jointly determine how much organic matter attaches to their surfaces and which fractions are selectively retained.

Modified gengnianchun formula outperforms androgens in treating chronic stress-induced diminished ovarian reserve
Xia & He Publishing Inc.
Chronic stress-induced hypercortisolism causes diminished ovarian reserve (DOR), contributing to infertility and miscarriage. Androgen supplementation is an emerging therapeutic approach for DOR. The traditional Chinese herbal decoction modified Gengnianchun formula (MGNC) has shown clinical efficacy in treating DOR. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of MGNC with that of androgens in a stress-induced DOR mouse model.

Integrated management of cortisol: A multidimensional perspective
Xia & He Publishing Inc.
Cortisol dysregulation drives metabolic, psychiatric, and inflammatory disorders. This review synthesizes evidence on integrative strategies—nutrition, sleep, exercise, mind-body therapies, and adaptogens (Withania somnifera, Rhodiola, Panax)—that restore HPA balance. Complementary modalities (acupuncture) show adjunctive benefit. An integrated model combining biomedical, lifestyle, and traditional approaches offers evidence-based pathways for stress-related disease management.

Phenylethanoid glycosides: A mini review on their anti-liver injury effects and underlying mechanisms
Xia & He Publishing Inc.
Phenylethanoid glycosides (PhGs) are natural sugar‑containing compounds with diverse structures and broad pharmacological activities. This review summarizes their anti‑liver injury effects. Key compounds (acteoside, echinacoside, salidroside, forsythoside A) act through antioxidant (Nrf2), anti‑inflammatory (NF‑κB), anti‑apoptotic, and anti‑fibrotic (TGF‑β/Smad) pathways. Preclinical evidence is promising, but clinical translation is hindered by low bioavailability and complex metabolism. Future directions include structural optimization and gut microbiota studies.
