Subcritical Water Extracts from Agaricus blazei Murrill’s Mycelium Inhibit the Expression of Immune Checkpoint Molecules and Axl Receptor

This research investigated how extracts from the medicinal mushroom Agaricus blazei Murrill (ABM) could help fight cancer. The scientists found that using hot water under pressure to extract compounds from the mushroom’s root-like structure (mycelium) produced substances that could boost the immune system’s ability to fight cancer cells. This method is safer than traditional chemical extraction methods and could be more practical for large-scale production. Impacts on everyday life: • Provides a safer, more natural approach to cancer treatment • Offers potential for new dietary supplements to support cancer therapy • Demonstrates a more environmentally friendly way to produce medicinal mushroom extracts • Could lead to more affordable cancer treatment options • Shows promise for combining natural products with modern medicine
