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.

The Potential of Mushroom Extracts to Improve Chemotherapy Efficacy in Cancer Cells: A Systematic Review

mycolabadmin

This systematic review examines how mushroom extracts can make chemotherapy more effective at treating cancer, particularly by helping overcome cancer cells’ resistance to drugs. Researchers found that various mushroom species contain compounds that work together with chemotherapy drugs to kill cancer cells more effectively through different cellular mechanisms. The results suggest mushroom extracts could be a promising natural complement to conventional cancer treatments, though more research is needed before they can be used clinically.

Fungal Drug Discovery for Chronic Disease: History, New Discoveries and New Approaches

mycolabadmin

This article examines how fungi have provided humanity with some of the most important medicines ever created, including penicillin, drugs that prevent organ rejection, and cholesterol-lowering statins. Many of these fungal compounds work as medicines because they target processes that are similar in both fungi and humans, helping them survive competition with other fungi while coincidentally treating human diseases. New researchers are now using modern genetic tools to discover additional fungal medicines, with several promising candidates currently being tested in clinical trials for cancer, depression, and other chronic diseases.

Isolation Techniques, Structural Characteristics, and Pharmacological Effects of Phellinus Polysaccharides: A Review

mycolabadmin

This review examines how scientists extract and study beneficial compounds called polysaccharides from a medicinal fungus called Phellinus. These polysaccharides show promise in fighting cancer, reducing inflammation, and boosting immune function. Different extraction methods affect the quality and effectiveness of these compounds, and researchers are working to optimize these techniques for better therapeutic applications.

Research progress of edible mushroom polysaccharide-metal trace element complexes

mycolabadmin

This research reviews how edible mushroom polysaccharides can be combined with essential metals like iron, selenium, and zinc to create health-boosting supplements. These complexes improve how our bodies absorb and use these important minerals, offering benefits like better immune function, antioxidant protection, and potential cancer-fighting properties. Scientists are studying different ways to make these complexes and testing their effectiveness for treating various health conditions.

Current Uses of Mushrooms in Cancer Treatment and Their Anticancer Mechanisms

mycolabadmin

This comprehensive review examines how medicinal mushrooms can help treat cancer. Certain mushroom species and their compounds, particularly polysaccharides, can boost the immune system to fight cancer cells, reduce chemotherapy side effects, and overcome drug resistance. Multiple mushrooms are currently in clinical trials showing promise in improving cancer patient outcomes when used alongside conventional treatments.

Chemical Content and Cytotoxic Activity on Various Cancer Cell Lines of Chaga (Inonotus obliquus) Growing on Betula pendula and Betula pubescens

mycolabadmin

This study examined chaga mushroom, a traditional medicine used against cancer, grown on two types of birch trees. Researchers tested chaga extracts on 31 different cancer cell types and found they were moderately effective at inhibiting cancer cell growth, particularly against liver and thyroid cancers. The chaga from silver birch (B. pendula) worked slightly better than that from downy birch (B. pubescens) due to higher levels of a compound called inotodiol.

Fruiting body-associated Pseudomonas contact triggers ROS-mediated perylenequinone biosynthesis in Shiraia mycelium culture

mycolabadmin

Scientists discovered that bacteria living inside medicinal mushroom fruiting bodies can trigger the production of powerful healing compounds called perylenequinones through direct physical contact. These compounds are being used to fight cancer and harmful bacteria through a therapy called photodynamic therapy. The study shows that when bacteria touch the mushroom’s cells, it causes the mushroom to produce more of these therapeutic compounds by creating controlled stress that activates specific genes.

Phytochemicals as promising agents in Axl-targeted cancer treatment

mycolabadmin

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.

Modern Pro-Health Applications of Medicinal Mushrooms: Insights into the Polyporaceae Family, with a Focus on Cerrena unicolor

mycolabadmin

This review explores how medicinal mushrooms, particularly Cerrena unicolor, can be used to improve health through functional foods and supplements. The mushroom contains natural compounds with powerful properties including fighting cancer cells, killing harmful bacteria and viruses, and protecting the body from oxidative stress. Research shows these mushrooms could be incorporated into dairy products and other foods to create innovative health-promoting products for consumers.
