Comparative Analysis of Antioxidant and Anticancer Activities of Fruiting Bodies, Mycelial Biomass and Culture Liquid of Omphalotus olearius OBCC 2503 (Agaricomycetes) from Turkey.

Up to now, the comparative analysis of the antioxidant and anticancer activities of the ethyl acetate extracts from fruiting body, mycelial biomass, and culture liquid of Omphalotus olearius are not reported. In this study, antioxidant activity of different samples was compared by six different methods: DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activities, metal chelating activity, reducing power, inhibition of β-carotene bleaching, and lipid peroxidation through ferric thiocyanate assay. Total phenolic contents of the samples were also determined.

Intelligent fluorescence image analysis of giant unilamellar vesicles using convolutional neural network.

Background: Fluorescence image analysis in biochemical science often involves the complex tasks of identifying samples for analysis and calculating the desired information from the intensity traces. Analyzing giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) is one of these tasks. Researchers need to identify many vesicles to statistically analyze the degree of molecular interaction or state of molecular organization on the membranes.

Anticancer and antimetastatic activity of Hypomyces chrysospermus, a cosmopolitan parasite in different human cancer cells.

The importance of microbial natural compounds in drug research is increasing every year and they are used to prevent or treat a variety of diseases. Hypomyces chrysospermus is a cosmopolitan parasite of many Boletaceae members. Since not much work has been conducted to date, this study is undertaken to explore the anticancer effect, including the antiproliferative and antimetastatic activity of Hypomyces chrysospermus.
