Target Tumor Cells

Methanolic extracts from three Ganoderma species—G. resinaceum, G. australe, and G. mbrekobenum—have shown potent effects against liver and breast cancer cell lines. G. resinaceum extract was particularly effective against liver cancer cells, significantly reducing cell viability and inducing apoptosis without harming normal cells.
