Melanoma
Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmacology 2011
Human tumor cells release growth factor proteins that suppress the immune system and the apoptosis that would otherwise detect them. The authors show that Ganoderma polysaccharides block this suppression in human melanoma cells, allowing the immune cells to help to detect the melanoma.
