The Inhibitory Effects of Cordyceps militaris ARA301 Extract on Lipopolysaccharide-Induced Lung Injury in vivo

Researchers tested a mushroom extract from Cordyceps militaris to see if it could protect mice from lung injury caused by bacterial toxins. The extract successfully reduced inflammation, prevented excessive mucus production, and decreased immune cell buildup in the lungs. These findings suggest that this mushroom extract could potentially be used as a natural supplement to help prevent respiratory diseases and support lung health.

Time- and temperature-dependent Pentraxin 3 stability in serum and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid samples

Researchers tested how stable Pentraxin 3, a protein marker for fungal infections, remains when stored under different conditions. They found that samples stored in freezers at −20°C or −80°C kept stable for months, making Pentraxin 3 a reliable marker for diagnosing serious fungal infections. However, samples stored at warm temperatures degraded quickly, so proper cold storage is essential for accurate test results.
