Cognitive Symbionts. Expanding the Scope of Cognitive Science With Fungi

open access: yesTopics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract It has been argued that fungi have cognitive capacities, and even conscious experiences. While these arguments risk ushering in unproductive disputes about how words like “mind,” “cognitive,” “sentient,” and “conscious” should be used, paying close attention to key properties of fungal life can also be uncontroversially productive for ...

Avoid Confusion! Does Survival Processing Shape the Spontaneous Use of Learning Strategies for Distinguishing Edible and Poisonous Mushroom Twins?

open access: yesTopics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Hunter‐gatherers faced the survival threat of confusing edible mushrooms with their poisonous twins, imposing selection pressure on those who failed to detect subtle visual differences. Grounded in the ancestral priorities framework, which posits that the human mind is adapted to handle prehistoric challenges, we investigated whether humans ...

Neuronal loss of the pentose phosphate pathway in the living nervous system is causally linked to [NADPH] reduction and elevated oxidative stress

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Using genetically encoded sensors for NADPH and H2O2 in the living Drosophila nervous system, neuron‐specific PPP knockdown is shown to result in reduced neuronal NADPH levels and elevated neuronal H2O2 levels and oxidative stress.

Monitoring of Metabolic Disorders Through Electro‐Sensing of Riboflavin by Novel Super‐Conductive Silver Ink Modified Paper

open access: yesAnalytical Science Advances, Volume 7, Issue 1, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Riboflavin (RIB), or vitamin B2, plays a key role in cellular protection against oxidative stress, and its deficiency can cause severe physiological complications, including metabolic disorders, photosensitivity, anaemia, growth delay and gastrointestinal problems.

Subterranean environments contribute to three‐quarters of classified ecosystem services

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1582-1605, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Beneath the Earth's surface lies a network of interconnected caves, voids, and systems of fissures forming in rocks of sedimentary, igneous, or metamorphic origin. Although largely inaccessible to humans, this hidden realm supports and regulates services critical to ecological health and human well‐being.

Edulitin 2, a Ribotoxin‐Like Protein From Boletus edulis That Triggers Apoptosis in Colon Cancer Cells While Preserving the Integrity of the Intestinal Microbiota

open access: yeseFood, Volume 7, Issue 3, June 2026.
Edulitin 2 is a ribotoxin‐like protein exhibiting a potent antiproliferative activity towards Caco‐2 and HT29 cells by programmed cell death. However, edulitin 2 does not affect gut microbiota growth, despite damaging fungal ribosomes. ABSTRACT Porcini (Boletus edulis Bull.) are a reservoir of pharmacological biomolecules with health‐promoting ...
