rFIP-GMI Suppresses IGF-1–Induced Invasion and Migration in Breast Cancer Cells via PI3K/Akt/β-Catenin Inhibition

Researchers found that a protein from a medicinal mushroom called Ganoderma microsporum can fight aggressive breast cancer by blocking a cellular pathway that helps cancer cells spread. The protein works by stopping the activation of key molecules (PI3K and Akt) that cancer cells use to invade surrounding tissues and migrate to other parts of the body. By blocking this pathway, the mushroom protein also prevents another molecule called β-catenin from entering the cell nucleus, where it would trigger genes that promote cancer growth and spread.

Polysacharide of Agaricus blazei gel mitigates bone necrosis in model of the jaws related to bisphosphonate via Wnt signaling

This study tested whether a gel made from Agaricus blazei mushroom could help repair jaw bone damage caused by bisphosphonate medications (used to treat bone loss). Using a rat model, researchers found that the mushroom gel significantly improved bone healing by activating biological pathways that promote bone-forming cell growth and activity. The treatment increased the number of living bone cells, improved bone quality, and reduced bone death and tissue damage. These promising results suggest the mushroom extract could become a helpful treatment to prevent or manage jawbone damage in patients taking bisphosphonate medications.
