Antitumor polysaccharides from mushrooms: a review on their isolation process, structural characteristics and antitumor activity
TL;DR: The role of polysaccharides as an antitumor agent is especially under intense debate as discussed by the authors, and the current status of this research area with a view for future direction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fractionation, partial characterization and bioactivity of water-soluble polysaccharides and polysaccharide-protein complexes from Pleurotus geesteranus.
TL;DR: A new mushroom polysaccharides extraction and fractionation method is reported, with which four fractions of PG with PG-2 appearing effective anti-tumour activity are produced.
