Age-related declines in cardiac function and exercise tolerance interfere with healthy living and decrease healthy life expectancy in older individuals. Tamogi-take mushrooms (Pleurotus cornucopiae) are known to contain high levels of Ergothioneine (EGT), an antioxidant with potential health benefits. In this study, we assessed the possibility that long-term consumption of Tamogi-take mushrooms might attenuate age-related decline in cardiac and vascular endothelial function in mice.

Article Synopsis
- Liver transplantation can save lives for people with serious liver problems, but it's important to know who might not survive after the surgery.
- Researchers studied patients who received liver transplants from living donors between 2010 and 2020 to find out what factors make short-term survival harder.
- They discovered 4 main risks that can cause death within a year: needing extra support like machines, having more severe liver disease, and having a low weight ratio between the donor and the recipient, which led to a new score system to help doctors evaluate patient risks.
