Management of Combined Therapy (Ceritinib, A. cinnamomea, G. lucidum, and Photobiomodulation) in Advanced Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer: A Case Report
AbstractThe 5-year survival rate of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is still low (<21%) despite recent improvements. Since conventional therapies have a lot of side effects, combined therapy is...
Lyophilized particles and ethanolic extracts of Antrodia cinnamomea mycelia suppress the tumorigenicity of head and neck cancer cells in vivo
AbstractHead and neck cancer (HNC) is one of the most common forms of cancer in Taiwan. In addition, head and neck cancer cells (HNCs) are highly tumorigenic and resistant to conventional therapy. The...
Large-scale preparation of sulfated polysaccharides with anti-angionenic and anti-inflammatory properties from Antrodia cinnamomia
AbstractSulfated polysaccharides (SPSs) were isolated from 0.5mM potassium-sulfate fed Antrodia cinnamomea. We investigated the chemical properties and bio-activities of the five different fractions (...

Insights from the cDNA and EST analysis of Antrodia cinnamomea
AbstractIt is of interest to document the insights gleaned from the cDNA and EST analysis of Antrodia cinnamomea (a fungal species). Hence a library of sequences was constructed and analysed using sta...
Inhibition of growth, migration and invasion of human bladder cancer cells by antrocin, a sesquiterpene lactone isolated from Antrodia cinnamomea, and its molecular mechanisms
AbstractBladder cancer is the ninth most common cancer around the world, and is a severe urological cancer irrespective of sex. Approximately 65% of the bladder cancers will recur following surgery; w...
In Vitro Anticancer Activity and Structural Characterization of Ubiquinones from Antrodia cinnamomea Mycelium
AbstractTwo new ubiquinones, named antrocinnamone and 4-acetylantrocamol LT3, were isolated along with six known ubiquinones from Antrodia cinnamomea (Polyporaceae) mycelium. The developed HPLC analys...
Immunosuppressive effect of zhankuic acid C from Taiwanofungus camphoratus on dendritic cell activation and the contact hypersensitivity response
AbstractSome ergostane triterpenoids from Taiwanofungus camphoratus have been shown to exhibit anti-inflammatory activity in vitro. However, the effect of ergostane triterpenoids on the immune respons...
