An Osaka Metropolitan University-led research team found out how AHCC, a standardized extract of cultured Lentinula edodes mycelia, might be able to suppress the progression of liver fibrosis.

Houston Methodist researchers have discovered that certain components of so-called “good” cholesterol -- high-density lipoproteins (HDL) – may be associated with an increased prevalence of cardiovascular disease. The research team describe their findings in a paper titled “HDL-Free Cholesterol Influx into Macrophages and Transfer to LDL Correlate with HDL-Free Cholesterol Content” in the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology’s Journal of Lipid Research.
