This research examined the medicinal properties of compounds extracted from the mushroom Polyporus dermoporus. The study found that the mushroom contains special sugar molecules (polysaccharides) that have powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects without being toxic to normal cells. This discovery could lead to new natural treatments for various inflammatory conditions and diseases caused by oxidative stress. Impacts on everyday life: • Could provide a natural alternative to synthetic anti-inflammatory medications • May help develop new supplements for preventing age-related diseases • Offers potential new treatments for inflammatory conditions with fewer side effects • Demonstrates the value of mushrooms as sources of beneficial compounds for human health • Could lead to development of new natural antioxidant supplements
