β-Glucans have been studied in animal species, from earthworms to humans. They form a heterogenous group of glucose polymers found in fungi, plants, bacteria, and seaweed. β-Glucans have slowly emerged as an important target for the recognition of pathogens. In the current review, we highlight the major roles of mushroom-derived β-glucans on cancer progression.
β-葡聚糖已在从蚯蚓到人类的多种动物物种中得到研究。它们是一类存在于真菌、植物、细菌和海藻中的异质葡萄糖聚合物。β-葡聚糖已逐渐成为识别病原体的重要靶点。在本综述中，我们重点介绍了蘑菇衍生的β-葡聚糖在癌症进展中的主要作用。
