Oyster vs. Cervical Cancer

Oyster vs. Cervical Cancer

A study found extracts from oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus ostreatus) inhibited growth of HeLa cervical cancer cells, completely stopping cell division by 72 hours. The extract shrank tumors in mice by 52.6%. Treating the mushroom cultures with millimeter waves at 50.3 GHz boosted the extract's anti-inflammatory effects to 87.5%.
