Cordyceps militaris Ethanol Extract Alleviates Hyperglycemia in Type 2 Diabetic Mice in Association With Gut Microbiota Modification

eFood, Volume 7, Issue 4, August 2026.
Cordyceps militaris ethanol extract (CME) shows potential for ameliorating glucose and lipid metabolism in T2DM mice. The improvements are correlated with the regulation of gut microbiota and increased short‐chain fatty acid levels, offering a novel perspective for future diabetes interventions.

Mevalonate Diphosphate Decarboxylase MVD/Erg19 Is Required for Ergosterol Biosynthesis, Growth, Sporulation and Stress Tolerance in Aspergillus oryzae

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Mevalonate diphosphate decarboxylase (MVD; EC 4.1.1.33) is a key enzyme of the mevalonic acid (MVA) pathway. In fungi, the MVA pathway functions as upstream of ergosterol biosynthesis, and MVD is also known as Erg19.

Application of CFS‐Loaded CMC/GEL Spray Coating for the Small Fruit Blueberries Preservation

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.
Schematic illustration showing the fabrication of the CFS‐loaded CMC/GEL composite spray coating and its application in the blueberry preservation. The preservation experiment indicated that the blueberries sprayed with 100% CFS/CMC/GEL exhibited a lower decay rate, reduced weight loss, and lower malondialdehyde (MDA) level compared with the control ...

Effects of the HDAC6/8 Inhibitor MC1568, Alone and in Combination With Fluconazole, in Non‐Albicans Candida Species Infections

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 4, August 2026.
This study explores new antifungal strategies to combat non‐albicans Candida species. We tested clinically approved HDAC inhibitors—Vorinostat, Romidepsin, Tucidinostat—and the HDAC6/8‐selective MC1568, alone and with Fluconazole. The Fluconazole/MC1568 combination significantly enhanced antifungal activity and reduced biofilm formation.

From Oral Candidiasis to Candidemia: A Review of Superficial to Invasive Progression

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 4, August 2026.
Recent and limited evidence indicates that oral candidiasis can disseminate Candida albicans throughout the body, leading to invasive candidiasis, such as candidemia, a life‐threatening infection. Considering antifungal resistance and global outbreaks of emergent non‐albicans Candida and related yeasts, murine models help understand dissemination ...
