Mushroom-Based Healing

A wound dressing made from Agaricus bisporus stem aerogels, modified with lysine and graphene oxide, eliminated over 95% of bacteria like S. aureus and E. coli under mild light therapy. The material not only traps and kills bacteria but also reduces inflammation and speeds up healing by promoting blood vessel growth, collagen formation, and tissue repair in infected wounds.
