Ergothioneine: An Antioxidative, Neuroprotective and Anti-Inflammatory Compound from Mushroom Residuals

Ergothioneine is a powerful antioxidant found mainly in mushrooms that protects brain health and reduces inflammation. Mushroom processing creates large amounts of waste like stems and leftover substrate that actually contain high levels of this beneficial compound. Scientists have developed sustainable methods to extract ergothioneine from this waste, creating opportunities for new health supplements and functional foods while reducing waste and supporting environmental sustainability.

Plant and Fungal Polysaccharides in Periodontitis Treatment: Diverse Mechanisms and Therapeutic Roles

Periodontitis is a serious gum disease that causes tooth loss and affects overall health. This review examines how polysaccharides (complex carbohydrates) from plants and fungi can help treat periodontitis by reducing inflammation, fighting bacteria, and helping gum tissue repair. These natural compounds work through multiple biological pathways to improve oral health outcomes while avoiding the side effects and resistance problems associated with conventional drugs.

High Efficiency In Vitro Wound Healing of Dictyophora indusiata Extracts via Anti-Inflammatory and Collagen Stimulating (MMP-2 Inhibition) Mechanisms

This study examines bamboo mushroom extracts for their ability to promote skin wound healing. Researchers tested three different parts of immature bamboo mushrooms and found that the core extract was particularly effective at reducing inflammation and preventing excessive collagen breakdown, which helps wounds heal properly without excessive scarring. The extract performed as well as or better than standard pharmaceutical agents, suggesting it could be a promising natural ingredient for wound healing products.
