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

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.

Changes in Functionality of Tenebrio molitor Larvae Fermented by Cordyceps militaris Mycelia

Scientists fermented mealworms (a sustainable food source) with a medicinal fungus called Cordyceps militaris to make them more nutritious and appealing. The fermented mealworms had much higher protein, fiber, and a cancer-fighting compound called cordycepin compared to regular mealworms. This technique creates a healthier, more environmentally friendly alternative protein food that could help feed growing populations while reducing the environmental impact of traditional livestock farming.

Chemical Characterization and In Vitro Antioxidant, Anti-Inflammatory, and Colon Cancer-Preventive Potential of a Polysaccharide Fraction from Macrolepiota procera

Researchers isolated special sugar compounds called polysaccharides from parasol mushrooms and tested their health benefits. These compounds were found to fight free radicals that damage cells, reduce inflammation in the body, and specifically kill colon cancer cells while leaving healthy cells unharmed. The study suggests that parasol mushrooms could be developed into health supplements or functional foods to help prevent cancer and improve overall health.
