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.

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.

Potential of Indonesian Herbal as an Anti-Cancer Therapy: A Systemic Review of in vitro Studies

mycolabadmin

This review examined eight Indonesian herbal plants that show promise in laboratory studies for fighting various types of cancer. Soursop leaves were the most researched and consistently showed the ability to kill or slow cancer cells in test tubes by triggering natural cell death pathways. The herbs work through bioactive compounds like flavonoids and alkaloids that can interfere with how cancer cells divide and survive. While these results are encouraging, more research is needed to confirm effectiveness in humans.

Comparative Multi-Omics Analysis and Antitumor Activity of Phylloporia crataegi and Phylloporia fontanesiae

mycolabadmin

Researchers compared two types of medicinal fungi (Phylloporia crataegi and P. fontanesiae) to understand why one is more effective at fighting cancer. Using advanced molecular analysis techniques, they found that P. crataegi contains higher levels of cancer-fighting compounds and activates more genes related to cancer cell death. These findings suggest that these fungi could be promising sources for developing new cancer treatments.
