A Revised Model for Muscarine Biosynthesis Involving Lysine Trimethylation. [PDF]
The fatal mushroom toxin l‐(+)‐muscarine is one of the most prominent natural products. We elucidated its biosynthetic origin in the sweating mushroom Collybia rivulosa based on incorporation of stable isotope‐labeled compounds and extensive mass spectrometric analyses.

Mycotoxins in Basidiomycete Mycelium and Fruiting Bodies: Implications for Eu Novel Food Assessment and Selected International Regulatory Frameworks. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Advances in technology have enabled the efficient and sustainable production of basidiomycete vegetative mycelium, particularly from Pleurotus species, as a novel food source. However, mycelium has yet to receive regulatory approval in many global markets, requiring a better understanding of factors affecting its safety.

Equipped for success: genomes and metabolomes of the European Amanita muscaria are conserved in its novel South African range. [PDF]
Summary Plants and soils have been moved around the world for centuries, but invasive mushrooms receive scant attention. The Amanita muscaria species complex was introduced to South Africa in the context of forestry, but its origins, ecology and recent evolution are unstudied. We sequenced the genomes of 24 Northern and Southern Hemisphere A. muscaria,

Confirmation of the Enhancement Effect of ANCE Treatment on Functional Recovery of Manual Dexterity From Primary Motor Cortex (M1) Lesion in Adult Macaque Monkeys. [PDF]
Together, an earlier pilot study and the current confirmatory study show that an autologous cellular therapy promotes beneficial, significant enhancement of manual dexterity recovery after lesion of the primary motor cortex. ABSTRACT Introduction A pilot study provided preliminary evidence indicating that peri‐lesional adult autologous neural cell ...

The contribution of the lateral posterior and anteroventral thalamic nuclei on spontaneous recurrent seizures in the pilocarpine model of epilepsy [PDF]
The pilocarpine model of epilepsy in rats is characterised by the occurrence of spontaneous seizures (SRSs) during the chronic period that recur 2-3 times per week during the whole animal life.

Synthesis of [<sup>3</sup>H]muscimol. [PDF]
A novel synthetic approach for the preparation of [3H]muscimol (48.3 Ci/mmol, 1.8 TBq/mmol) based on the reduction of a suitably protected amide precursor using in situ generated tritioborane (BT3·THF) is reported. The method avoids the use of bulk tritiated water employed in established synthetic protocols and enables safe, reliable, and efficient ...

The Deceptive Mushroom: Accidental Amanita muscaria Poisoning
Amanita muscaria is considered to be one of the most remarkable and beautiful mushrooms. It has a red or orange cap covered with small white plaques and its distinctive appearance makes accidental and severe intoxication very rare.
