Sparassis crispa and a Bioactive Compound Therein, Ergosterol, Were Effective in Preventing Acetylcholinesterase Inhibition In Vitro and In Vivo

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2026.
Sparassis crispa extract exhibited acetylcholinesterase inhibitory and antioxidant activities, and ergosterol was identified as a major bioactive sterol. In a TMT‐induced mouse model, both the extract and ergosterol improved spatial working memory and learning retention while reducing brain AChE activity and lipid peroxidation.

Understanding the dynamic nature of plant lipid anabolic and catabolic metabolism is key to sustainable oilseed engineering

New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 5, Page 2196-2214, March 2026.
Summary Plant‐derived oils are essential sources of reduced carbon and various fatty acid (FA) structures for food, biofuels, and the oleochemical industry. Despite extensive efforts, engineering mainstream oilseed crops to produce high levels of industrially valuable unusual FAs (UFAs) remains challenging.
