Brain Cell Protection

Brain Cell Protection

Compounds called p-terphenyls isolated from the black falsebolete (Boletopsis leucomelas) protected brain cells in lab models by reducing inflammation and oxidative stress linked to neurodegeneration. In cellular tests, these compounds helped calm overactive immune signaling in brain-support cells and shielded neurons from damage.
