Polysacharide of Agaricus blazei gel mitigates bone necrosis in model of the jaws related to bisphosphonate via Wnt signaling

This study tested whether a gel made from Agaricus blazei mushroom could help repair jaw bone damage caused by bisphosphonate medications (used to treat bone loss). Using a rat model, researchers found that the mushroom gel significantly improved bone healing by activating biological pathways that promote bone-forming cell growth and activity. The treatment increased the number of living bone cells, improved bone quality, and reduced bone death and tissue damage. These promising results suggest the mushroom extract could become a helpful treatment to prevent or manage jawbone damage in patients taking bisphosphonate medications.
