Three-phase extraction of polysaccharide from Stropharia rugosoannulata: Process optimization, structural characterization and bioactivities

Researchers developed an efficient new method called three-phase extraction to isolate beneficial compounds called polysaccharides from wine cap mushrooms (Stropharia rugosoannulata). These polysaccharides showed strong antioxidant properties and boosted immune cell activity in laboratory tests by triggering specific cellular pathways. The findings suggest these mushroom extracts could become useful ingredients in functional foods or medicines to support immune health.

Corrigendum: Compounds purified from edible fungi fight against chronic inflammation through oxidative stress regulation

This article is a correction to a previous study about beneficial compounds found in edible mushrooms. The study examined how various mushroom-derived substances like polysaccharides and peptides can combat chronic inflammation by reducing oxidative stress in the body. Multiple mushroom species were analyzed for their antioxidant properties and mechanisms of action. The corrections ensure proper citation of the original research sources while maintaining the core scientific findings.

Comparative transcriptome analysis reveals the genetic basis underlying the biosynthesis of polysaccharides in Hericium erinaceus

Researchers studied six different strains of lion’s mane mushrooms to understand how they produce beneficial compounds called polysaccharides. Using advanced genetic analysis, they identified thirteen key genes responsible for making these health-promoting molecules. The study found that a strain called PZH-05 produced the most polysaccharides, and its genes were more active than in other strains. This research helps explain why lion’s mane mushrooms are effective for boosting immunity, fighting cancer, and managing blood sugar.
