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.

Can Ganoderma Triterpenoids Exert Immunogenic Cell Death in Human Cancer Cells? A Systematic Review and Protein Network Analysis

mycolabadmin

This review examines whether compounds from medicinal mushrooms called Ganoderma can help the body’s immune system fight cancer more effectively. Researchers analyzed 69 scientific studies and found that Ganoderma compounds cause cancer cells to die and trigger immune-activating signals. While these results are promising, more experiments are needed to prove whether these mushroom compounds actually activate the specific immune pathways required for long-term cancer control.

In vitro antitumor effects of methanolic extracts of three Ganoderma mushrooms

mycolabadmin

Researchers tested extracts from three types of medicinal mushrooms (Ganoderma) against cancer cells in laboratory tests. They found that one species was particularly effective against liver cancer cells, while two other species worked well against breast cancer cells. The extracts killed cancer cells while being much less harmful to normal cells, suggesting they could potentially be developed into new cancer treatments.
