Therapeutic Potential of Bioactive Compounds in Edible Mushroom-Derived Extracellular Vesicles: Isolation and Characterization of EVs from <i>Pleurotus eryngii</i>.

ABSTRACT: Background/Objectives: Over the past twenty years, there has been a rapid increase in studies aimed at comprehending how cells communicate with each other via Extracellular Vesicles (EVs), accompanied by a heightened interest in plant-derived extracellular vesicles due to their potential relevance in dietary supplementation and therapeutic applications. However, there is a limited amount of research on extracellular vesicles derived from mushrooms (MDEVs). Among edible mushrooms, Pleurotus eryngii is peculiar due to its flavor and interesting nutritional profiling. It also produces a wide array of secondary metabolites including biologically active compounds with many health-promoting benefits such as anticancer, antioxidant, antitumor, antiviral, antibacterial, antidiabetic,
