Synergistic immuno-modulatory activity in human macrophages of a medicinal mushroom formulation consisting of Reishi, Shiitake and Maitake

Researchers studied a combination of three medicinal mushroom extracts to see if they work better together than separately. They tested this formula on human immune cells called macrophages and found that the combination was significantly more powerful at boosting immune responses than any single mushroom extract alone. This synergistic effect means the three mushrooms enhance each other’s immune-stimulating properties, suggesting this formula combination could have potential therapeutic benefits for immune support.

Immunomodulatory function of chitosan is dependent on complement receptor 3

This study reveals how the human immune system recognizes chitosan, a natural component found in the walls of disease-causing fungi like Aspergillus and Cryptococcus. Researchers discovered that immune cells use a protein called CR3 on their surface to detect and respond to chitosan by producing inflammatory chemicals that help fight infection. When chitosan works together with fungal proteins, it can boost the immune system’s response even more effectively, suggesting new ways to enhance immunity against fungal infections.
