Journal ArticleDOI

Therapeutic potential of culinary-medicinal mushrooms for the management of neurodegenerative diseases: diversity, metabolite, and mechanism.

TL;DR: Over 20 different brain-improving culinary-medicinal mushrooms and at least 80 different bioactive secondary metabolites isolated from them reduced beta amyloid-induced neurotoxicity and had anti-acetylcholinesterase, neurite outgrowth stimulation, nerve growth factor synthesis, neuroprotective, antioxidant, and anti-(neuro)inflammatory effects are reviewed.
Journal Article

Effects of cultivation techniques and processing on antimicrobial and antioxidant activities of hericium erinaceus (Bull.:Fr.) pers. extracts

TL;DR: It has been shown that the processing of fruitbody and not the cultivation conditions affects the selected bioactive properties of H. erinaceus.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lignosus rhinocerus (Cooke) Ryvarden: A Medicinal Mushroom That Stimulates Neurite Outgrowth in PC-12 Cells.

TL;DR: This is the first report on neurite-stimulating activities of L. rhinocerus as well as aqueous sclerotium extract, which contained neuroactive compounds that stimulated neurite outgrowth in vitro.
Journal ArticleDOI

Peripheral Nerve Regeneration Following Crush Injury to Rat Peroneal Nerve by Aqueous Extract of Medicinal Mushroom Hericium erinaceus (Bull.: Fr) Pers. (Aphyllophoromycetideae)

TL;DR: Data suggest that daily oral administration of aqueous extract of H. erinaceus fresh fruiting bodies could promote the regeneration of injured rat peroneal nerve in the early stage of recovery.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neurite outgrowth stimulatory effects of culinary-medicinal mushrooms and their toxicity assessment using differentiating Neuro-2a and embryonic fibroblast BALB/3T3

TL;DR: The results indicate that G. lucidum, L. rhinocerotis, P. giganteus, G. frondosa and C. militaris may be developed as safe and healthy dietary supplements for brain and cognitive health.
