Researchers at the University of Connecticut have developed a method to extract chitin from crabs, lobsters, and other crustaceans. Historically, chitin extraction has been challenging due to the use of harmful substances like hydrochloric acid, which can harm the environment. However, the researchers have found a more sustainable approach using non-toxic and biocompatible byproducts from the biodiesel industry. This breakthrough is significant because chitin-based products could offer a more environmentally friendly solution to plastic pollution. Chitin-based materials have the potential to break down more easily in the environment, reducing the harmful impact on ecosystems. With approximately six million tons of seafood waste generated in the US alone each year, there is a vast potential source of chitin that could be repurposed into sustainable products. The innovative extraction process involves using organic acids like glycerol, choline chloride, lactic acid, or malic acid to separate chitin from the shellfish material. This method not only makes chitin extraction more efficient but also eliminates the use of corrosive substances that harm the environment. The resulting chitin can be used as a biodegradable replacement for petroleum-based plastics, offering a more sustainable option for various products. Furthermore, the researchers are exploring additional applications for chitin, such as turning salvaged chitin into nutrient-rich fertilizer for crops. This demonstrates the versatility and potential value of chitin as a sustainable resource. The episode emphasizes the importance of investing in innovative research projects like this to drive positive change and reduce our reliance on fossil fuels. Researchers have made a groundbreaking discovery in finding a more environmentally friendly way to extract chitin from shellfish, making it a viable option for plastic production. Traditionally, extracting chitin from shellfish has been a challenging and polluting process, involving the use of harmful substances like hydrochloric acid. However, a lab at the University of Connecticut has found a new method that utilizes non-toxic, biocompatible, and cost-effective byproducts of the biodiesel industry, such as choline chloride, glycerol, and organic acids. This innovative approach involves creating a solvent rich in hydrogen bonds that can break down the original bond in the shellfish material, enabling the separation and release of chitin from other compounds in the shells' complex matrix. This method not only makes the extraction process more efficient but also eliminates the harmful environmental impacts associated with traditional extraction methods. With this new extraction process, chitin can now be obtained sustainably from the shells of crabs, lobsters, crustaceans, and shrimp. This discovery opens up a world of possibilities for using chitin as a biodegradable replacement for petroleum-based plastics. The potential applications of chitin in plastic production are vast, offering a more sustainable alternative that breaks down harmlessly in the environment. Furthermore, researchers are exploring additional uses for chitin, such as turning salvaged chitin into a nutrient-rich fertilizer for crops. This demonstrates the versatility and value of chitin as a resource that can be repurposed into valuable products, contributing to a more circular and sustainable economy. Overall, this discovery represents a significant step towards reducing plastic pollution and transitioning towards more eco-friendly alternatives in plastic production. By investing in innovative research like this, we can pave the way for a more sustainable future and reduce our reliance on fossil fuels for plastic manufacturing. Governments play a crucial role in driving innovation towards more sustainable practices and reducing reliance on fossil fuels. As discussed in the podcast episode, investing in innovative projects like the use of chitin to create sustainable products presents a significant opportunity for governments to lead the way in environmental conservation. Chitin, extracted from seafood waste, offers a biodegradable alternative to petroleum-based plastics, addressing the pressing issue of plastic pollution. By investing in research and development of chitin-based products, governments can support the transition towards a more sustainable economy. This investment not only fosters technological advancements but also promotes job creation and economic growth in emerging industries focused on sustainability. Furthermore, the utilization of chitin in various applications, such as packaging and fertilizers, demonstrates the versatility and potential of this natural resource. Governments should prioritize funding for projects that explore innovative solutions like chitin-based products. By supporting these initiatives, policymakers can demonstrate a commitment to environmental stewardship and climate action. Additionally, investing in sustainable alternatives to fossil fuels aligns with global efforts to mitigate climate change and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Overall, government investment in projects utilizing chitin and other sustainable materials is essential for driving the transition towards a more environmentally friendly and sustainable future. By supporting research, development, and implementation of these innovative solutions, governments can play a pivotal role in creating a more sustainable and resilient society for future generations.  

Are insects the sustainable food source of the future? In this podcast, we're going to take a look at edible bugs as an alternative protein source. Some say that we should be eating bugs by 2050 because of the growing population. Some blame climate change or claim that beef is not sustainable and that we need to find other sources of food. One hundred grams of bugs contains about 12 grams of protein, 5 grams of fat, and 5 grams of carbs. If we were to eat insects as food, we'd need to eat 4x to 8x this amount to get enough protein! It could become quite expensive to consume this many bugs each day. The cost of edible insects could be lowered by lowering the quality of what they're fed, but then the bugs will be less nutritious with less protein. Eating insects would also require people to give up their cultural and traditional foods which is not likely. When you compare bugs to beef, insects do not come close in terms of protein or nutritional value. Insects also carry pathogens. A 2019 study evaluated several cricket farms that were developing edible insects. Around 81% of the crickets had parasites and 30% were potentially pathogenic. There's also a higher incidence of worms, viruses, bacteria, and fungus in crickets. If you have an allergy to shellfish, you may also have an allergy to edible insects because they contain a similar protein. Bugs have an exoskeleton mainly composed of chitin which is an antinutrient and can not be digested by our microbiome. Chitin also blocks vitamins A and E.

Die Wüste mit ihren Extremtemperaturen verlangt Insekten vieles ab: Schwarzkäfer zum Beispiel verfügen über einen dicken Panzer aus Chitin, der hitzeabweisend wirkt. Die Flügeldecken sind miteinander verschmolzen, die Oberfläche besitzt wärmereflektierende Strukturen. Die Wüstenameisen haben eine andere Strategie: Sie jagen für kurze Zeit in hohem Tempo über die Sandoberfläche und können sich auf bis zu 55 Grad aufheizen. - Sendung vom 24.11.2023

Microbial consortia are groups of diverse microorganisms that have the ability to act together in a community. Such consortia are common in nature and are known to play important roles in many ecosystems but are not always well understood. Soil management and nutrient mobilization are one area where complex communities of microbes are known to be important, whether it be a naturally occurring consortium, or a man-made consortium.  In this episode of Absolute Gene-ius Jordan and Cassie talk with Dr. Ray Ketchum form Agrinos about the microbial consortia he and his team cultivate and produce to improve plan health and increase crop yields. We learn about the challenges of fermenting mixtures of more than 20 diverse microorganisms to reproducibly make products that improve plant health and mobilize nutrients in a completely organic way. As you might expect, digital PCR plays in important role in Ray's R&D and quality control process.  Here, they use dPCR to titer each of the species within their consortia for quality and regulatory purposes, a task that cannot be done by cell culture methods given the range of bacteria involved. Cassie's career corner gets Ray sharing his full career development story from undergraduate, through grad school and postdoc positions, and into his professional career. Ray is generous in sharing his early misconceptions about miscalculations while providing advice to help other avoid similar missteps.  Visit the Absolute Gene-ius page to learn more about the guest, the hosts, and the Applied Biosystems QuantStudio Absolute Q Digital PCR System.

Nach der europaweiten Zulassung von Insekten in Lebensmitteln ist die Debatte über den Verzehr der Krabbeltiere erneut entbrannt. Während die einen Insekten als sehr „nahrhaft“ einstufen, befürchten andere allergische Reaktionen und sehen gesundheitliche Gefahren bei regelmäßigem Verzehr. Die Verträglichkeit von Chitin ist dabei nur einer der diskutierten Punkte.

ORN Dr. Jennifer Daniels show notes 10/24/22 Part one It's all about balance. Vegetables only and meat only for too long will make you ill. Experiment and try out diet stuff for yourself. Gout – probably not enough water or vegetables. Exhausted, tired, adrenal fatigue – eat more meat and liver. If meat is clean, most ill effects are from lack of water. The Netherlands proposed to kill 30% of livestock because of nitrogen in manure. In New Zealand, taxing animal emissions. Hidden documents prove globalists want to take over Russia. Globalists plan to Inflate their way out of the debt. Taking away meat is a war on the health of individuals. Don't want them to have the nutrients that make them mentally and physically strong. Insects provide physical but not mental strength. Health of ankles, legs, hips determine how well we age. Freeze tendons flat, cook in crockpot overnight on high. Cook meniscus with them. Chitin from insects said to be toxic to humans. Sensitivity to chitin happens when person doesn't have enough cholesterol. Use TREAT20 code for 20% off sale on Surthrival Colostrum. Breast lumps from caffeine. Stop coffee, take shilajit. Lipomas are a parasite. Poop 3 times a day, drink plenty of water. What we call aging is the process of parasites taking over the body. Herxheimer reaction happens when liver is trying to filter parasites and gets clogged. Effective ivermectin dosing is once a year. Rash is the toxins coming out of the skin that the liver can't handle. Best result with turpentine is once a month. See Candida Cleaner Report at VitalityCycles.com. Carly gets breast pain the day after ovulation. Increase cholesterol intake to increase internal barriers. Liver, bull testicles, brain are good cholesterol sources, take 2x/week. Eggs have cholesterol but don't have the minerals and nutrients to take advantage of the cholesterol. Soak liver in milk for a day before cooking to get rid of strong taste. Listener complains that her good diet isn't working for her anymore. Do stretches to get things moving. Tammy has heart racing, arrhythmia, shortness of breath, palpitations, swollen ankles, pulsing lip. Measure how much water you're drinking, increase by 1 liter. Need more salt. Black squid ink in broth every day, heel lifts, tippy toe raises. Robert asks about brown spots on the face. Caused by weak liver, not enough connective tissue. Increase intake of tendons, pig ears, hydration, poop 3 times/day. Is it okay to have rabbit pellets poop? Yes. Why do people over 70 have trouble sleeping through the night? Problem is parasites having exponential growth. Take ivermectin once a month, or turpentine twice a week. Concern about huge doses of THC in medical marijuana. Smoking it is harmless, but the pill is not natural. Don't want the FDA regulating it. Receding gums – take cow tendons and connective tissue. Boil up a cow or pig head. Beef, pork, or buffalo liver, boil up organs.

Summary: The amazing digestive tract of the pangolin includes a 27 inch long tongue and a stomach with teeth! Join Kiersten as she travels through the incredible digestive tract of the pangolin.   For my hearing impaired listeners, a transcript of this podcast follows the show notes.   Show Notes: References for this episode - The Encyclopedia of Mammals edited by Dr. David Macdonald www.savepangolins.org https://www.discoverwildlife.com/animal-facts/mammals/facts-about-pangolins treepangolinresource.weebly.com/digestion bioweb.uwlax.edu/bio203/s2012/grosshue_crai/diet “Expression Profile of the Digestive Enzymes Manis javanica Reveals Its Adaptation to Diet Specialization” by Fuhua Zhang, Na Xu, Yishuang Yu, Shibao Wu, Shaoshan Li, and Wenhua Wang; doi:10.1021/acsomega.9b02845 Pangolin Conservation Organizations:  Rare and Endangered Species Trust - www.restnamibia.org Save Vietnam's Wildlife - www.svw.vn   Transcript (Piano music plays) Kiersten - This is Ten Things I Like About…a ten minute, ten episode podcast about unknown or misunderstood wildlife. (Piano music stops)   Welcome to Ten Things I Like About… This is a podcast about misunderstood or unknown creatures in nature. Some we'll find right out side our doors and some are continents away but all are fascinating.    My name is Kiersten and I have a Master's Degree in Animal Behavior and did my thesis on the breeding behavior of the Tri-colored bat. I was a zookeeper for many years and have worked with all sorts of animals from Aba Aba fish to tigers to ravens to domesticated dogs and so many more in between. Many of those years were spent in education programs and the most important lesson I learned was that the more information someone has about a particular animal the less they fear them. The less they fear them the more they crave information about them and before you know it you've become an advocate for that misunderstood animal.   This episode continues pangolins. The second thing I like about pangolins is their digestive tract! I know that seems like a strange thing to like about an animal but it's a truly amazing digestive tract.    Let's start with what they eat because that has a huge influence on how your digestive tract works. All species of pangolin eat ants and termites, but mostly. The fancy name for this is myrmecophagy. On average a pangolin can eat 140 to 200 grams of insects a day. That's almost 1/2 a pound of insects a day. Adult pangolins can eat 70 million ants a year.   The digestive tract starts in the mouth, so let's start our journey there. First they use their large, curved claws to tear open an anthill or termite mound to expose their prey. Pangolins have long tongues with a sticky, viscous saliva that helps them lick up ants and termites. Then they flick their tongue in and out of the tunnels capturing a yummy meal. Most mammals have a salivary gland that helps produce saliva, aka spit, that begins the digestive process in the mouth. Pangolins have a huge salivary gland located in their chest that creates the thick saliva and lubricates the tongue. Now, get ready for one of the reasons that the pangolin's digestive tract is #2 on my Ten Thing I Like About list. Depending on the species a pangolin's tongue can be 10-27 inches long! The tongue is so long in the African Giant Pangolin the the tongue actually attaches to the animal's pelvis and they can stick half of it out of their mouth! That's 14-16 inches of tongue!   Once in the mouth, digestion often begins with chewing. That's why Mom always says chew your food! But pangolins do not have any teeth, so the ants and termites slide right down the esophagus into the stomach.    Most of us have probably encountered ants at some point in our lives and some of you may know that the they are covered in an exoskeleton made of chitin. This is pretty tough stuff so you may be thinking how does the pangolin digest those little buggers if they don't grind them with teeth. Get ready for the second reason the pangolin's digestive tract is #2 on my Ten Thing I Like About list. They have keratinous protrusions sticking out from the lining of the stomach that help them grind up the ants they are also referred to as pyloric teeth.    What? I'm imagining the Sarlacc pit monster from Star Wars in the pangolins stomach! How cool is that. It's really more like a bird's gizzard, which is a pouch off the side of some species of birds' digestive tract that is muscular and helps them break down tough seeds, shells, and insects.    There does appear to be a difference in Asian versus African pangolin species stomachs. Asian species have there horny protrusions and African species do not. We ‘re not sure why there is a difference, but one thing they both have in common is that they all swallow small rocks and sand that settles in the stomach and helps grind up the ants and termites.   Okay, why ants? There are so many other insects out there that have got to be easier to eat right? We don't really know why pangolins ended up specializing in eating ants but it most likely developed as a way to avoid competition from other carnivores. If the pangolin is the only one eating ants they have to fight anyone to get food. Also ants are a protein rich food. They contain 50% crude protein and over 20 amino acids. That is a great source of protein for a carnivore! But you have to be able to utilize that protein. So the next question is how do pangolins do that?   Stomachs produce digestive enzymes. These enzymes help break down the food we eat. The diet an animal eats influences the enzymes that are found in the stomach. Recent studies have determined that the pangolin digestive tract is so specialized to eating ants and termites that they cannot successfully eat anything else and survive long term. Pangolins eat a lot of insects and those insects' exoskeletons are made of chitin. Chitin is where the protein and amino acids are found but it had so be broken down to be properly absorbed by the body. An enzyme called chitinase does just that.    Some scientists in China have delved into the make up of the Sunda pangolin's digestive enzymes and they have found something interesting.  In both the saliva and stomach fluid chitiase was present. They also found a lack of enzymes typically found in other carnivores that help breakdown other sources of proteins. This is one of the main reasons they are not seen in captive environments such as zoos and one of the biggest hurdles rehabbers must overcome to save injured pangolins. They simply do not have the correct enzymes to break down the food and absorb the nutrients from items that are readily available to these facilities.    All of these amazing facts about the pangolin digestive tract is why it is #2 on my list of Ten Things I Like about pangolins.   Please visit savepangolins.org to find out even more about pangolins and discover what you can do to save this unique animal. To help the African Cape Pangolin visit the Rare and Endangered Species Trust at restnamibia.org and to learn more about Asian pangolins and help the Sunda and Chinese pangolin visit Save Vietnam's Wildlife at svw.vn.    Join me next week for another ten minute podcast focusing on another thing I like about pangolins.   (Piano music plays) This has been an episode of Ten Things I like About with Kiersten and Company. Original music written and performed by Katherine Camp, piano extraordinaire.

Spinnenseide, Muschelschalen, Haifischzahn und Lotusblatt: Werkstoffinspirationen aus der Natur. Der Physiker und Materialwissenschafter Peter Fratzl spricht diese Woche über Biomaterialien. (Er ist Direktor des Max Planck Institut für Kolloid- und Grenzflächenforschung in Potsdam.) 1. Wandelbare Eigenschaften 2. Teures Hirn auf schlauen Beinen 3. Natur ohne Räder 4. Zähne am Fließband 5. Wunderwerkstoff Collagen Biomaterialien sind Materialien "aus, für und durch die Natur". Es sind jene Werkstoffe, aus denen Pflanzen und Lebewesen bestehen: Holz, Gras, Wolle, Haare, Panzer – aus Zellulose, Chitin und Proteinen. Es sind aber auch jene Werkstoffe, aus denen zum Beispiel Prothesen - für Lebewesen - bestehen, Keramik, Gold oder Platin. Und es sind Materialien, die von der Natur inspiriert sind: Oberflächen von Schmetterlingen, die schillernde Farben haben, die Oberfläche des Lotusblattes, das Wasser perfekt abperlen lässt, die Zähnen von Tieren mit hohen mineralischen Anteilen. Die Natur passt sich auf dem Weg der Evolution an die Umweltbedingungen an, ist nie perfekt, sondern immer nur so gut wie nötig, damit bei Änderungen der Umweltbedingungen noch immer genug Eigenschaften vorhanden sind, die anders wo hin passen. Die Natur kann hervorragend mit limitierten Ressourcen auszukommen. Es gibt Biomaterialien, die zwar aus dem gleichen Material bestehen, aber durch ihre unterschiedliche Struktur ganz verschiedene Eigenschaften haben. Diese Materialien können aber auch Informationen verarbeiten. Sie leiten etwas Schwingungen gefiltert weiter, damit das Gehirn nicht überlastet wird, das sich sonst mit zu vielen - meist uninteressanten - Schwingungen beschäftigen müsste. Eine selektive Weiterleitung erfolgt durch die Wahl der passenden Materialien. Die falschen Schwingungen kommen gar nicht erst an. Es ist lohnend, die Zusammenhänge zwischen der Struktur und den physikalischen Eigenschaften von biologischen und bioinspirierten Verbundwerkstoffen zu erforschen, um selbst effizientere und bessere technologische Werkstücke herstellen zu können.

This week, I’m speaking to Senior Arboricultural Research Manager Dr Glynn Percival, who works for Bartlett Tree Experts. I first heard Glynn speak about 7 years ago and I was blown away by his straight talking and the research he presented that day, which exploded many myths about tree planting. In fact, I’d go so far as to say that his eye-opening lecture was a pivotal moment in my understanding that I didn’t have to swallow all the received wisdom surrounding horticulture. Dr Ian Bedford’s Bug of the Week: Orange tip butterflies This episode is brought to you by the team at The Real Soil Company.

In dieser Folge haben wir Jennifer zu gast. Sie zeigt auf ihrem Instagramm Kanal  Jennifer (@insta_obscura) • Instagram-Fotos und -Videos Bilder von essbaren Pflanzen. Wie sie ihre Bilder erstellt und wie man auf die Idee kommt essbare Pflanzen zu fotografieren ? all das erfahrt ihr in den nächsten beiden Folgen. Jennys Homepage  Flora obscura - Home (flora-obscura.de)   Jennifer hat uns darauf hingewiesen, dass sie bei Minute 24:27 Keratin gesagt hat, obwohl es korrekt Chitin heißen muss.

If humans end up on Mars in the next ten years, astronauts will need to use as much of the planet’s resources as possible and potentially build habitats to stay there. Chitin is found in the exoskeletons of insects and when combined with Martian soil, results in a potential building material for Mars. Javier Gomez Fernandez from the Singapore University of Technology and Design discusses how Mars explorers can make the most of this peculiar material.

In the finding of Chitin in Sponge dated to time of Cambrian period, how was it entombed, were there protective mechanisms postulated?  Are birds dinosaurs? i personally believe only the Avion ones evolved not the non Avion.   If birds evolved from dinosaurs, how would the in-out respiratory function gradually transform into the one-way air flow of birds?  Did you chuckle from Jurassic park flicks that had large dinos running fast enough to catch a jeep? seems biophysicists have determined that large dinos actually moved very slowly.  Why is there only two options, 24 hr or millions of years? The bible also uses 1000 years as a day, "a day is as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day". There are many fossil pits in Oregon. Given the rotten smell of the fields, is it possible that the dinosaurs that are more recent?

Kriben Govender (Honours Degree in Food Science & Technology) has a chat with the co-founder of Entomo Farms, Dr Jarrod Goldin on the gut health and sustainability benefits of edible insects like crickets.   Bio:    Dr Goldin has been a Chiropractor and Chiropractic educator for 20 years. He’s witnessed the impact that food can have on our health. He says we now have to “Consider more than just the health benefits of what we eat; we also have to consider the ecological footprint of our food choices.” In 2014 Dr Goldin joined his brothers Darren and Ryan, who have 12 years experience farming insects with their business Reptile Feeders, to start Entomo Farms, North America’s first and largest insect farm, dedicated to raising insects, specifically for human consumption. In January 2015, Entomo Farms worked out of facilities that were 5000 square feet. They now have 20,000 square feet of work and development space as they continue to lead the field of “Bugtrepreneurs”.

Ep. 307: Are Mushrooms Really Magic? In this episode, Stacy and Sarah tackle the latest trend of using mushrooms as a supplement Click here to listen in iTunes If you enjoy the show, please review it in iTunes! The Paleo View (TPV), Episode 307:  Are Mushrooms Really Magic? Intro (0:00) News and Views (0:40) Stacy asked Sarah to prioritize this week's topic. Sarah had to do a lot of research (and learned a lot of things!) researching this week's topic. Stacy's question to Sarah was, "should we really be putting mushrooms in coffee?" Listener Questions (5:55) Jan writes, "Hey ladies!! Love your show. Thanks for everything that you do to help so many people be the best versions that they can be!!! I was wanting your thoughts on the medicinal mushroom drinks. I keep hearing about them and seeing ads for the four stigmatic drinks. I have several autoimmune so would love to know for that as well as for those that don’t have auto immunes." Annik writes, "Bonjour Sarah et Stacy, I love your books and your podcast - the science you bring to health topics is so refreshing and helpful in navigating the tremendous amount of health claims we are bombarded with daily, and weeding out the fads and those that are not scientifically proven.This brings me to my question. The new health push seems to be for including powdered mushrooms into our diet. Claims include increased energy and reduced fatigue, mental clarity, immune boosting properties, hormone balancing, etc. Is there any science that shows the benefits of including cordyceps, chaga, lion’s mane, reishi, etc., into our diet? And if so, how long does it take for someone to feel the benefits of including these supplements into our diet? I’m particularly interested in the claims around reduced fatigue, increased energy and immune boosting properties. I do not have an autoimmune condition diagnosis yet but I have been dealing with fatigue, congestion and lots of colds in the last year which continues to be unexplained by my medical doctor. While I know quick fixes don’t work, if adding powdered mushrooms to my morning tea would help with energy then why not?!Lastly, I want to say a big thank you to Dr. Ballantyne for the Autoimmune Protocol Lecture Series. I took the 6-week course and learned so much! I was already eating a paleo diet but saw tremendous benefits in fine-tuning my diet to see how it could help with my health challenges described above. I am most grateful for the continued access to the course material; I messed up the reintroduction part and will now restart the course!Thank you both for all that you do and for your active social media info sharing. You set the standard high for evidence-based health information and make it accessible to all of us! It is highly appreciated!" Thanks Annik for telling us how much you love the Autoimmune Lecture Series! The next session starts Monday, September 10th. Pre-ordering the AIP lecture series gets you 10% off. Sarah is also offering a free trial if you want a better idea of the content. Find the pre-order and free trial in the "shop" section at The Paleo Mom here. Edible mushrooms are really nutrient-dense and have unique carbohydrate and fiber types. Medicinal mushroom use goes back thousands of years. They date back to ancient Egyptians and ancient Chinese cultures. In the last 50 years there have been a lot of scientific studies on mushrooms. Specifically, health-promoting properties can include: Antioxidants Cholesterol-lowering properties Anti-hypertensive Anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory  Liver protection Anti-diabetic Antio-obesity Anti-tumor (note, only animal studies and cell culture studies to date) Anti-viral Anti-microbial properties Some drugs have been created from mushroom extracts, specifically used in cancer patients to boost immune function during treatments. Phytochemicals found in mushrooms are a contributor to the health benefits of mushrooms. Mushrooms are high in gallic acid. An antioxidant and heavy metal chelator. Mushrooms are high in Triterpenes. These properties include anti-inflammatory, anti-virus, anti-diabetes, anti-cancer, anti-oxidant and speed wound healing. Glucans are a unique carbohydrate found in mushrooms. Fungal glucans can be water soluble or insoluble. Chitin fiber is a fermentable fiber found in mushrooms. This type of fiber is great for gut health and microbiome diversity. Some glucans are very small molecules, so they can actually bind to immune cells directly and modulate the immune system. Mushroom extracts versus whole mushrooms. Most medicinal extracts use a double extraction process. Some of the compounds are water soluble and some are not. Some medicinal preparations can have one, some, or many of these compounds included. Well-known properties of commonly used mushrooms. Reishi Probably the most studied medicinal mushroom. Main uses: lung infection (expectorant), liver protective, reduces blood pressure, improves exercise performance, adaptogen (relaxer), reduce allergies, reduce ulcers, anti inflammatory, anti-cancer , reduce infections, reduces anxiety and depression, anti-diabetes. Maitake Main uses: reduces high blood pressure, tumor inhibition, liver protectant, fights infection, anti-diabetic. Shiitake Main uses: immune regulator, tumor inhibition, antiviral, antibacterial, liver protectant, anti-obesity, anti-diabetic, reduces cholesterol, antimicrobial, anti-cancer. Chaga Main uses: immune regulator, Anti-Cancer, Anti-Viral & Anti-Inflammatory! Antioxidant, reduces cholesterol and high blood pressure, improves performance, Also adaptogenic (relaxer). Lion's Main Main uses: enhances brain function, anti-cancer, lowers cholesterol, reduces gastric ulcers, anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic, immune regulating. Cordyceps Main uses: energizing adaptogen, improves exercise performance, anti inflammatory, immune stimulating or regulating (fighting infection), anti-cancer, liver protective, anti-diabetes acts as a natural aphrodisiac. Turkey Tail Main uses: anti-cancer (one of the best studied for helping fight cancer, adjuvant for chemo patients), helps fight infection (HIV). Almond Mushroom Main uses: anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, anti-virus, reduces allergies, immune regulatory. Not edible whole, usually only available as supplement. Mushrooms and Cancer One of the benefits is that mushrooms can suppress the regulatory immune system and stimulate the attacking part of the immune system. Reishi, Cordyceps, Maitake, and Turkey Tail. Studies have show they are able to boost the immune system's ability to find and kill cancerous cells. There are no clinical trials showing medicinal mushrooms can kill cancer. Mushrooms and Autoimmunity Emerging preliminary evidence suggest that mushroom extracts are immune modulators rather than immune stimulators, meaning they can help balance the immune system. This could be because of their influence on the gut microbiome. This could be because of the high level of phytochemicals. Medicinal mushrooms may be beneficial in instances of under-active immune systems, overactive immune function, and dysfunctional immune systems. Reishi and Cancer Able to activate natural killer cells, increasing their activity and the body’s ability to fight tumors. Reduces the chances of metastasis, which is when cancer spreads to another part of the body. Adjunct therapy (not primary, first-line therapy) for colorectal cancer, lung cancer, prostate cancer, and breast cancer, and is shown to increase survival rate. Reishi and Autoimmune Disease Studies in RA patients showed no increase in inflammatory cells or cytokines, and a decrease in IL-18, which activates Th1. Impact on the immune system was not the same as it is in cancer. This suggest immune modulating rather than stimulating. Study participants reported lower joint pain. A Lupus mouse study showed a decrease in autoantibodies and increased survival. In summary: Eating more whole mushrooms in general can be beneficial for health. There are people who would probably benefit from medicinal mushrooms. Talking to your health care provider first is always a good idea. Adding more mushrooms to our diets is a great choice! If you take mushrooms, let us know if they have helped you. If you've enjoyed the show, please recommend it to someone who might enjoy it. We love when you share and when you leave reviews for us!

We're going to learn about the colossal squid in this episode, with bonus info about the giant squid...and then we're going to learn about the massive things that eat this massive squid! A giant squid, looking slightly guilty for eating another squid: A colossal squid, looking less than impressive tbh: THAT EYEBALL: A sperm whale looking baddass: A southern sleeper shark, looking kind of boring: Show transcript: Welcome to Strange Animals Podcast. I’m your host, Kate Shaw. This week we’re going to learn first about the colossal squid, and then we’re going to learn about what eats the colossal squid. You’ve probably heard of the giant squid, but maybe you haven’t. Let’s start with it, because the giant squid and the colossal squid are both massive, amazing deep-sea animals. Stories of huge squid go back to ancient times. Aristotle and Pliny wrote about it, the legend of the kraken may be at least partially inspired by it, and sailors have told stories about it for time out of mind. Naturalists of the mid-19th century knew it must exist because whalers had found enormously long tentacles and huge beaks in sperm whale stomachs. But except for the occasional badly damaged specimen washed up on shore, no one had seen a giant squid. Certainly no one had seen a living giant squid. It wasn’t until 2001 that a live giant squid was caught on film, and then it was only a larval squid. In 2002 a live adult giant squid was caught off the coast of Japan. It wasn’t especially big, just 13 feet long, or 4 meters, but up until then an adult giant squid had never been captured or even photographed. Its body is now on display at the National Science Museum of Japan. It wasn’t until 2004 that a research team got photographs of a live giant squid in its natural habitat, also off the coast of Japan. Since then researchers have taken more photographs and footage of giant squid, and we’re starting to learn more about it. Squids in general have a body called a mantle, with small fins at the rear and eyes near the base above the arms, eight arms, and two long tentacles. The arms and tentacles are lined with suction cups that contain rings of serrated chitin, which allows the squid to hang on to its prey. Chitin is the same stuff lobster shells and fish scales are made of. It’s the invertebrate version of keratin. In the middle of the arms, at the base of the mantle, is the squid’s mouth, which looks for all the world like a gigantic parrot beak, also made of chitin. Instead of actual teeth, the squid has a radula, which is basically a tongue studded with chitinous teeth that it uses to shred its prey into pieces small enough to swallow. Most of the length of a giant squid comes from its tentacles. Researchers estimate that the longest giant squid’s mantle is about 7 ½ feet long, or 2.25 meters. The longest giant squid’s mantle and arms together reach around 16 feet long, or 5 meters. That’s still pretty huge, but it’s not until you add in the tentacles that the length just gets ridiculous. The longest giant squid known—and this is an estimate based on the size of the biggest beak ever found—was 43 feet, or 13 meters. Females are typically much bigger than males and can weigh twice as much. The giant squid is a deep-sea animal, probably solitary, and eats fish and smaller squid, including other giant squid. It’s an active hunter and catches prey by grabbing it with its super-long tentacles, reeling it in to hold it more securely with its arms, then biting it with its beak and shredding it into pieces with its radula. The giant squid has the largest eye of any living animal, as big as 11 inches in diameter, or 27 cm. Since it mostly lives in the deep sea, it probably needs such big eyes to see bioluminescent light given off by the animals it eats and to detect predators. Only ichthyosaurs had larger eyes. Well…except for the colossal squid, which may have eyes even bigger than the giant ...

C. elegans embryos are protected by a trilaminar eggshell that is thought to make the embryos impermeable to small molecules. Olson et al. describe the hierarchical assembly of the different eggshell layers but reveal that the permeability barrier is a distinct structure that lies in between the shell and the embryo surface. This biosights episode presents the paper by Olson et al. from the August 20, 2012, issue of The Journal of Cell Biology and includes an interview with authors Sara Olson (Pomona College, Claremont, CA) and Karen Oegema (Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research, UC San Diego, CA). Produced by Caitlin Sedwick and Ben Short. See the associated paper in JCB for details on the funding provided to support this original research.

Chitin, after cellulose the second most abundant polysaccharide in nature, is an essential component of exoskeletons of crabs, shrimps and insects and protects these organisms from harsh conditions in their environment. Unexpectedly, chitin has been found to activate innate immune cells and to elicit murine airway inflammation. The skin represents the outer barrier of the human host defense and is in frequent contact with chitin-bearing organisms, such as house-dust mites or flies. The effects of chitin on keratinocytes, however, are poorly understood. We hypothesized that chitin stimulates keratinocytes and thereby modulates the innate immune response of the skin. Here we show that chitin is bioactive on primary and immortalized keratinocytes by triggering production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines. Chitin stimulation further induced the expression of the Toll-like receptor (TLR) TLR4 on keratinocytes at mRNA and protein level. Chitin-induced effects were mainly abrogated when TLR2 was blocked, suggesting that TLR2 senses chitin on keratinocytes. We speculate that chitin-bearing organisms modulate the innate immune response towards pathogens by upregulating secretion of cytokines and chemokines and expression of MyD88-associated TLRs, two major components of innate immunity. The clinical relevance of this mechanism remains to be defined.
