Robust Bio‐Textiles Via Mycelium‐Cellulose Interface Engineering

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 12, 9 February 2026.
This work introduces a new class of sustainable textiles by growing mycelium, the root‐like structure of fungi, into cellulose‐based fabrics. This semi‐interpenetrating mycelium‐cellulose fiber network combines the strength and breathability of natural fibers with the water‐resistant and adhesive properties of mycelium, resulting in a robust, scalable,

Regularized master-field approximation for large-N reduced matrix models

Journal of High Energy Physics
We propose a numerical method based on the master field for large-N reduced matrix models. While the master field is originally an infinite-dimensional matrix, in this method it is regularized to a finite dimension, with the requirement that it satisfies

Gradients of Aliveness and Engineering: A Taxonomy of Fungal Engineered Living Materials

Advanced Materials, Volume 38, Issue 5, 22 January 2026.
This paper explores the potential of fungal engineered living materials (ELMs), examining fungal biology and growth mechanisms, which underpin their development. It presents a classification framework based on aliveness, scaffold composition, and engineering degree. Unique properties such as self‐healing, biosensing, and bioremediation are highlighted,

Effects of Edible Mushrooms on the Behavior of Rats and Mice: A Systematic Review

International Journal of Microbiology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Research highlights the health benefits of edible mushrooms, from immune support to potential mental health improvements. However, up to the present moment, no study has systematically gathered and examined these findings. Therefore, to consolidate and discuss the available evidence on their behavioral effects in animal models, a systematic review was ...
