Purification and Biochemical Characterization of a Novel Fibrinolytic Enzyme from Culture Supernatant of Coprinus comatus

mycolabadmin

Scientists discovered and purified a powerful enzyme from the medicinal mushroom Coprinus comatus that can dissolve blood clots and prevent dangerous blood vessel blockages. This enzyme works in two ways: it can directly break down clots and also activate the body’s natural clot-dissolving systems. The enzyme is much smaller and safer than current blood-thinning medications, making it a promising natural alternative for treating heart disease and stroke.

Extraction Optimization and Bioactivity of Polysaccharides from Ganoderma leucocontextum Spores

mycolabadmin

Researchers developed an improved method to extract beneficial polysaccharides from Ganoderma leucocontextum (white Ganoderma), a rare mushroom from the Tibetan plateau. The extracted compound GLSP-A1 showed strong anti-inflammatory effects by reducing inflammatory markers and reduced signs of aging in test organisms by decreasing harmful reactive oxygen species and cellular aging pigments. This work suggests the mushroom polysaccharide could potentially be used in dietary supplements to help slow aging.
