Researchers tested a natural compound called hispolon, extracted from medicinal mushrooms, to see if it could help heal wounds in diabetic patients. Using both laboratory cells and diabetic rats, they found that hispolon successfully reduced cell damage caused by high blood sugar, improved wound closure, and promoted healthy tissue growth. The compound worked as well as an existing diabetic wound cream and showed no harmful side effects, suggesting it could become a new natural treatment option for diabetic wound complications.
