Course Description
The digital course "Biochemistry of Medicinal Mushrooms" offers an in-depth exploration of the human body's biological mechanisms and the way active compounds in mushrooms integrate into these pathways. The course provides a scientific and applied understanding at the cellular and biochemical levels, aiming to enable precise clinical adaptation of medicinal mushrooms for the treatment of various pathologies. Delivered through targeted video lessons, the curriculum covers core clinical topics, including the immune system, inflammatory pathways, oxidative stress, oncology (the 14 hallmarks of cancer), metabolic syndrome, neurodegenerative diseases, and the endocrine system.
