  • Chronic inflammatory diseases are typically treated with anti-inflammatory drugs, but many patients develop resistance, prompting the need for new treatment options.
  • Research on endophytic fungi, which produce various beneficial compounds while living within plants, shows their extracts may offer anti-inflammatory properties.
  • The study found that extracts from five endophytic fungi can counteract inflammation in macrophage cells and identified several potent metabolites, suggesting these fungi could serve as effective alternatives to traditional anti-inflammatory medications.

Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) have emerged as efficient light sources for promoting in vitro plant growth and primary and secondary metabolite biosynthesis. This study investigated the effects of blue, red, and white-red LED lights on plant biomass growth, photosynthetic pigments, soluble sugars, phenolic compounds, the production of Amaryllidaceae alkaloids, and the activities of antioxidant enzymes in L. cultures.
