Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to submit scientific articles in the form of experimental studies and review articles on broad topics related to bioactive substances isolated from fungi in the context of their biomedical applications. This topic is currently gaining importance due to the need to search for new medicinal preparations, especially those of natural origin. Fungi occupy a special place in this area of knowledge.
This Special Issue aims to present and popularize research on fungal bioactive substances, both high-molecular and low-molecular, in the context of biomedical applications. Studies using both purified substances and biochemically and functionally characterized fungal extracts are welcome.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
Prof. Dr. Magdalena Jaszek
Guest Editor
