Background: Hair loss is one of the most common side effects of chemotherapy, and can cause persistent negative emotions, further affecting therapeutic effects and reducing the quality of life.

Our previous clinical and animal studies showed that a medicinal and edible decoction, YH0618, could significantly promote hair growth in cancer patients after chemotherapy, without interfering with the anti-tumor effects of chemotherapy.

- Mannooligosaccharides produced by mannanase enzymes are valuable for enhancing diets in both humans and animals.
- This study used an innovative enzyme-engineering approach to modify a mannanase, resulting in improved stability against heat, ions, and aggregation, while maintaining its shape.
- A new bifunctional enzyme combining mannanase and xylanase showed effective substrate breakdown, revealing insights into enzyme stability that could lead to better feed additives and functional oligosaccharides.
