Neuroprotective properties of Cantharellus cibarius polysaccharide fractions in different in vitro models of neurodegeneration.

Researchers investigated the neuroprotective properties of Cantharellus cibarius polysaccharides fractions in models of neurodegeneration. The fractions were tested for their influence on neuron viability and antioxidant capacity using various tests. The studies revealed that two tested fractions (CC2a, CC3) had a beneficial effect on neuron viability and outgrowth, as well as demonstrated antioxidant capacity, effectively countering negative changes induced by glutamatergic system activators. These findings suggest that the investigated compounds could be developed for a safe and effective strategy for treating neurodegenerative diseases.
