Abstract

The article will focus on introducing Ganoderma lucidum, a mushroom that may be beneficial to humans. In the eyes of most people, Ganoderma lucidum is simply a traditional Chinese medicine with the function of calming people's mind and relieving the cough. In recent years, under the implementation of various experiments, however, scientists have gradually discovered the efficacy of Ganoderma lucidum in assisting in the treatment of cancer, so this fungus has quickly attracted people's attention. After extracting and analysing the internal substances of Ganoderma lucidum, scientists found that the Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharide (GLP) contained in it is one of the key components that enable Ganoderma lucidum to produce anti-cancer properties. In this article, some studies that are relevant to GLP are summarized, and the relevant experimental data collected from the internet are provided to demonstrate its pro-apoptotic and anti-proliferative effects on the cells.
