The Emerging Role of Oyster Mushrooms as a Functional Food for Complementary Cancer Therapy by Priya Lakshmi Sreedharan, Malu Kishorkumar, Elke Gabriel Neumann, Shyam S. Kurup

“…The current article reviews the health benefits of edible oyster-mushroom-derived bioactive compounds, and how they specifically activate or regulate the immune system by affecting the maturation, differentiation, and proliferation of immune cells, thereby inhibiting cancer cell metastasis and growth. Mushrooms show anticancer potential by regulating a single molecule of a specific signaling pathway or by having multiple targets in the same or different signaling pathways. …”
