Faster Wound Repair

Faster Wound Repair

Schizophyllan, a polysaccharide from split gill mushrooms (Schizophyllum commune), sped up healing in both cell and mouse models. It boosted skin cell growth, blood vessel formation, and antioxidant defenses, leading to a 96% wound closure rate, outperforming standard hydrogel dressings. The compound worked by regulating inflammation, reducing oxidative stress, and supporting tissue regeneration.
