This study aims to determine the effects of Hericium erinaceus extracts on cell viability and the effects of H. erinaceus water extract on the telomerase activity of MCF-7 cells. H. erinaceus is an edible mushroom widely used in traditional Chinese medicine. Although its various therapeutic properties, the literature has not yet submitted evidence about H. erinaceus for its effects on the telomerase activity of MCF-7 cells.
