Nutrition has relevant consequences for human health and increasing pieces of evidence
indicate that medicinal mushrooms have several beneficial effects. One of the main issues in …

In this study, cellulose nanocrystals (CNC)/chitosan (CS)/glutaraldehyde (Glu) ternary
composites were synthesized using cross-linking method with different CNC/CS ratios (1: 1 …

Wood decay fungi (WDF) seem to be particularly suitable for developing myco-materials due
to their mycelial texture, ease of cultivation, and lack of sporification. This study focused on a …

Filamentous fungi have been considered as candidates to replace petroleum-based
adhesives and plastics in novel composite material production, particularly those containing …

The transition from a linear to a circular economy is urgently needed to mitigate
environmental impacts and loss of biodiversity. Among the many potential solutions, the …

In this work, we have synthesized copper nanoforms (Cu NFs) using ascorbic acid as a
