Multidisciplinary Integrative Medicine Approach for Cancer Patients: A Multicenter Retrospective Study

mycolabadmin

This study shows that when cancer patients use complementary treatments like mushroom supplements, vitamins, and probiotics alongside their cancer medications under doctor supervision, they experience fewer side effects and better quality of life. Almost 93% of patients had no side effects from these supplements, and many reported less fatigue and better overall wellness. The key finding is that patients should work with their medical team rather than self-prescribing these treatments to avoid dangerous interactions.

Exploring the Therapeutic Potential of Ganoderma lucidum in Cancer

mycolabadmin

Ganoderma lucidum, a mushroom used in traditional medicine for thousands of years, shows promise in fighting certain blood cancers like leukemia and lymphoma. The mushroom contains special compounds that can kill cancer cells in multiple ways—by triggering cancer cell death, boosting the immune system, and preventing cancer cell growth. While laboratory studies are very encouraging, more testing in humans is needed before it can be used as a standard cancer treatment.

Medicinal Mushrooms: Bioactive Compounds, Use, and Clinical Trials

mycolabadmin

This comprehensive review examines how medicinal mushrooms contain natural compounds that can boost immune function, fight cancer cells, reduce inflammation, and protect nerve cells. Different mushroom species like reishi, shiitake, and maitake contain various active substances such as beta-glucans and triterpenes that work through multiple biological pathways. While laboratory and animal studies show promising results, more human clinical trials are needed to confirm effectiveness and establish safe dosing guidelines.

Integration of active ingredients from traditional Chinese medicine with nano-delivery systems for tumor immunotherapy

mycolabadmin

This review examines how traditional Chinese medicine ingredients can boost the body’s natural ability to fight cancer when combined with tiny nanoparticles that deliver drugs more effectively. The nanoparticles help TCM compounds work better by improving how they dissolve, how long they stay in the body, and where they target. By activating immune cells like natural killer cells and dendritic cells while reducing immune-suppressing cells, this combination approach offers a promising new strategy for cancer treatment with fewer side effects.

Antioxidant and Anti-Inflammatory Properties of Mushroom-Based Food Additives and Food Fortified with Them—Current Status and Future Perspectives

mycolabadmin

Mushrooms are nutrient-rich foods containing compounds that protect our bodies from damage and reduce inflammation. When mushrooms are processed into powders, extracts, or specially designed capsules, they can be added to ordinary foods like bread, pasta, and yogurt to make them healthier. This review shows that these mushroom-enriched foods successfully boost the antioxidant power of products, though the best results depend on how the mushrooms are prepared and which type of food they’re added to.

Functional Components from the Liquid Fermentation of Edible and Medicinal Fungi and Their Food Applications in China

mycolabadmin

Mushroom mycelium grown in liquid fermentation produces many beneficial compounds like polysaccharides and proteins that support immune function and may help fight cancer and oxidative stress. These fermented mushroom products can be added to foods, beverages, and health supplements to boost their nutritional value and health benefits. Studies show that fermented mushroom mycelium sometimes contains higher levels of beneficial compounds compared to whole mushroom fruiting bodies, making it a promising ingredient for functional foods and health products.

The Anticancer Potential of Edible Mushrooms: A Review of Selected Species from Roztocze, Poland

mycolabadmin

This review examines edible mushrooms found in Poland’s Roztocze region for their potential to fight cancer. These mushrooms contain natural compounds like polysaccharides and proteins that can kill cancer cells in laboratory studies through various mechanisms, including triggering cell death and boosting immune function. While promising, these findings from laboratory and animal studies need further development before becoming clinical treatments.

The microbial strategies for the management of chemical pesticides: A comprehensive review

mycolabadmin

Chemical pesticides used to protect crops contaminate soil and water, harming both ecosystems and human health. Scientists have discovered that specific microorganisms—bacteria, fungi, and algae—can naturally break down these harmful pesticides into harmless substances. By using advanced technologies to understand how these microbes work and even genetically enhancing them, researchers are developing sustainable solutions to clean up pesticide-contaminated environments without the toxic side effects of traditional cleanup methods.

Ganoderma lucidum methanolic extract as a potent phytoconstituent: characterization, in-vitro antimicrobial and cytotoxic activity

mycolabadmin

Researchers tested a medicinal mushroom extract (Reishi/Ganoderma lucidum) to see if it could fight cancer and bacterial infections. The extract showed promising results, being particularly effective against blood cancer and breast cancer cells while being less toxic to normal healthy cells. It also killed bacteria better than some standard antibiotics, suggesting it could potentially be developed into a new type of medicine for treating cancer and infections.

Algal pigments: Therapeutic potential and food applications

mycolabadmin

Colorful algae contain powerful natural compounds that can help treat serious health problems like cancer, diabetes, and obesity. Scientists are using special nano-technology to deliver these algal compounds more effectively in medicines. Algae-based pigments like chlorophyll and carotenoids are already used in supplements and healthy foods to boost overall wellness. These compounds also help maintain a healthy gut and reduce inflammation in the body.
