Modified recipe to inhibit GSK-3 for the living fungal biomaterial manufacture

Jinhui Chang, Po Lam Chan, Yichun Xie, Ka Lee, Man Kit Cheung, Hoi Shan Kwan

This paper demonstrates that inhibiting GSK-3 kinase activity suppresses fruiting body formation in fungal mycelium, offering a biochemical method to control mycelium growth for biomaterial applications.

Transcriptional profiling elucidates the essential role of glycogen synthase kinase 3 to fruiting body formation in Coprinopsis cinerea

Kathy PoLam Chan, Jinhui Chang, Yichun Xie, Man Kit Cheung, Ka Lee, Hoi Shan Kwan

This study uses RNA-Seq to show that GSK3 inhibition in Coprinopsis cinerea disrupts fruiting body formation by altering gene expression related to metabolism and cellular processes.
