Therapeutic Potential of Bioactive Compounds in Edible Mushroom-Derived Extracellular Vesicles: Isolation and Characterization of EVs from Pleurotus eryngii

mycolabadmin

Researchers isolated tiny particles called extracellular vesicles (EVs) from a medicinal mushroom called king oyster mushroom (Pleurotus eryngii). These EVs act like natural delivery packages containing beneficial compounds like antioxidants and anti-inflammatory molecules. The study found that EVs from mushroom mycelium (the root-like part) were purer and more potent than those from the mushroom cap, with strong abilities to neutralize harmful free radicals in the body.

Things you wanted to know about fungal extracellular vesicles (but were afraid to ask)

Fungal extracellular vesicles are tiny particles released by fungal cells that play important roles in how fungi cause disease and how our immune system responds. These particles can either help fight infections or make them worse depending on the type of fungus and conditions involved. Scientists are discovering that these vesicles could potentially be used as vaccines and may explain why some antifungal drugs stop working.

Fungal extracellular vesicles (EVs) are tiny packages released by fungal cells that play important roles in fungal infections and how our immune system responds to them. Scientists have confirmed these EVs are real biological structures, not laboratory artifacts, and discovered they are produced by many different fungal species. Interestingly, these EVs can have opposite effects on the immune system depending on the fungus involved—sometimes helping our bodies fight infection and sometimes making infections worse, making them both potential vaccines and virulence factors.
