Structural Elucidation of Heteropolysaccharides from the Peach-Shaped Dictyophora indusiata and Its Anti-Inflammatory Activity

Researchers extracted polysaccharides from peach-shaped bamboo fungus (Dictyophora indusiata) and discovered they contain beneficial beta-glucans. When tested on human immune cells triggered to become inflamed, these polysaccharides reduced inflammatory markers and messenger proteins. The compounds were found to be chemically stable under various conditions, suggesting potential use as a natural anti-inflammatory supplement or food ingredient.

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.

The Effect of Combined Treatment of Psilocybin and Eugenol on Lipopolysaccharide-Induced Brain Inflammation in Mice

This study tested whether psilocybin (an active compound from magic mushrooms) combined with eugenol (a natural compound from cloves) could reduce brain inflammation in mice. Researchers gave mice a substance that triggers inflammation in the brain and then treated them with these compounds before or after the inflammation started. The combination treatment, especially at a 1:50 ratio of psilocybin to eugenol, significantly reduced multiple inflammatory markers in the brain, suggesting this combination could potentially be helpful for treating brain inflammation-related conditions.
