Researchers discovered a new polysaccharide, ATP, from the mushroom Armillariella tabescens, which significantly alleviated symptoms of ulcerative colitis (UC) in mice. The study showed that ATP improves gut health by enhancing the intestinal barrier, reducing inflammation, and balancing gut bacteria.
