to their immunomodulatory effect . Specifically, some bioactive compounds present in white mushrooms are capable of:
Reduce myeloid suppressor cells (MDSCs) , which promote tumor growth
Boosting the immune response by activating T cells and natural killer cells against cancer cells
These effects have been observed in murine models , where the mushroom extract has:
Slowed tumor growth
Increased survival of mice
Improved immune cell activity against cancer
Confirmations from clinical trials on humans
The data collected on blood samples from patients involved in the clinical study confirmed the preclinical results: after three
