This review examines natural plant compounds that can block Axl, a protein that helps cancer cells survive and spread. Scientists found that compounds from common foods like apples, grapes, green tea, ginger, and chamomile can reduce Axl levels and kill cancer cells. These natural compounds work through different mechanisms and show promise for treating various cancers, including those resistant to standard chemotherapy drugs.

Lectins as versatile tools to explore cellular glycosylation

mycolabadmin

Lectins are natural proteins that selectively bind to sugars on cell surfaces, discovered over 130 years ago as tools for studying cell chemistry. They have become especially valuable in cancer research, revealing how cancer cells have abnormal sugar patterns that predict how aggressively they spread. Modern biotechnology now allows scientists to create enhanced lectin versions and use them in high-throughput screening to discover new disease markers and improve patient diagnosis.

Medicinal Plants for Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting: A Systematic Review of Antiemetic, Chemosensitizing, and Immunomodulatory Mechanisms

mycolabadmin

This review examines how medicinal plants can help manage nausea and vomiting caused by cancer chemotherapy. Over 22 plants including ginger, cannabis, mint, and turmeric work through multiple mechanisms like blocking serotonin pathways and reducing inflammation. Beyond reducing symptoms, these plants may also enhance chemotherapy effectiveness and boost immune function. The research suggests combining medicinal plants with standard cancer treatments could improve patient outcomes and quality of life.

First Chemical Investigation of Korean Wild Mushroom, Amanita hemibapha subsp. javanica and the Identification of Anti-Helicobacter pylori Compounds

mycolabadmin

Researchers studied a Korean edible mushroom called Amanita hemibapha subsp. javanica and found it contains compounds that can kill the bacteria Helicobacter pylori, which causes stomach ulcers and gastric cancer. One compound in particular showed strong antibacterial activity, performing even better than some known antibiotics. These findings suggest this mushroom could be a natural source for developing new medicines to treat H. pylori infections and fight antibiotic-resistant strains.

Potential of traditional Chinese medicine in gastrointestinal disorders: Hericium erinaceus in chronic atrophic gastritis

mycolabadmin

Lion’s Mane mushroom (Hericium erinaceus) shows promise for treating chronic stomach inflammation and preventing gastric cancer. Studies indicate it can reduce stomach pain, improve endoscopic findings, and fight harmful bacteria like H. pylori. Its active compounds work by reducing inflammation, oxidative stress, and promoting cancer cell death, offering a natural complement to conventional treatments.

Harnessing Natural Products to Surmount Drug Resistance in Gastric Cancer: Mechanisms and Therapeutic Perspectives

mycolabadmin

Gastric cancer is a serious disease that often becomes resistant to chemotherapy drugs, making treatment difficult. This review examines how natural products found in plants and herbs can help overcome this drug resistance. These natural compounds work through multiple mechanisms, including targeting cancer stem cells, boosting the immune system, and enhancing the effectiveness of standard chemotherapy treatments.
