Description
Summary:The polysaccharides from edible fungus showed many kinds of biological activities, including anti-tumor, immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetes, improving functional constipation activities. In particular, the immunomodulatory effects have been paid more and more attention by scholars, but there was no systematic introduction of their immunomodulatory mechanism.
