This study shows that a combination of fungal β-glucan and Bacillus coagulans reduces colitis symptoms and improves gut health in DSS-treated mice.

This paper introduces a response-geometry framework to distinguish microbiome response magnitude from directional coherence in intervention studies, showing it can detect shared-direction effects while accounting for heterogeneity.

This study uses CRISPR/Cas9 RNP to knockout the CcPka1 gene in Coprinopsis cinerea, revealing its role in nutrient signaling and fruiting body formation.

This paper presents a chromosome-level genome assembly of Coprinopsis cinerea using Nanopore sequencing and identifies genetic variants in mutants.

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.

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.

The paper identifies regulatory genes in Coprinopsis cinerea using eQTL analysis and finds they are evolutionarily older and have more PTM sites than non-regulatory genes.

The paper identifies and validates miRNA-like RNAs (milRNAs) in Coprinopsis cinerea and explores their potential roles in fruiting body development.

The paper presents draft genomes of Phellinus noxius strains from Hong Kong to study their virulence and pathogenic mechanisms.
