Moss Biocrusts Regulate Heavy Metal Speciation and Mobility in Coal Mine Soils
ABSTRACT On a global scale, coal mining activities often lead to heavy metal(loid) contamination in soils of mine dump sites, posing serious ecological risks. As ecosystem “engineers,” biological soil crusts (biocrusts)—especially moss crust—have shown great potential in remediating heavy metal‐polluted soils, but their roles remain underexplored.

Ergothioneine: Biosynthesis, Molecular Mechanisms, Physiological Function, and Role in Disease
Ergothioneine is a natural thione antioxidant with significant biomedical potential. By reducing oxidative stress, inflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction, and cellular injury, ergothioneine may support interventions for aging‐related disorders, neurodegeneration, metabolic diseases, and skin protection.

Assessing fungal–mineral interactions in soil: A review of microscale methods
Abstract Biological weathering of minerals has profoundly transformed Earth over geologic time by driving soil formation, nutrient cycling, and long‐term biogeochemical processes. Among soil biota, fungi are increasingly recognized as key yet obscure drivers of weathering through their unique hyphal growth forms, metabolic capabilities, and symbiotic ...
