Colon Cancer Fighter

Colon Cancer Fighter

Polysaccharides from Stropharia rugosoannulata slow colon cancer growth by triggering cancer cell death and blocking tumor spread. These compounds activate apoptosis pathways, increasing pro-death proteins (Bax, caspase-3) and suppressing cancer survival proteins (Bcl-2), making them a promising natural therapy.
