Review: Immunomodulatory therapies and nutritional significance of Ganoderma lucidum

According to the research published in Food & Functions recently, a team led by Prof. Huang Qing at the Institute of Intelligent Machines, Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), reported for the first time an update and a comprehensive summary of the studies on the immunomodulatory therapies and nutritional significance of Ganoderma lucidum (G. lucidum) from 2010 to 2022, and confirmed that G. lucidum is an essential prebiotic for increasing bacterial flora and a health encouraging agent because of its components, primarily its abundant source of polysaccharides, triterpenoids, and polyphenols.

Prior COVID highly protective against severe disease ten months post-infection

In a recent study published in the Lancet, researchers performed a systematic review of scientific literature published from inception up to September 31, 2022, that documented the reduction in risk of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) among individuals with a prior severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection vis-à-vis those with no COVID-19 history.

After a previous BA.1 infection, Omicron BA.4/5 infection is more likely than BA.2

In a recent study published in the journal Eurosurveillance, researchers investigated whether prior severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection and/or coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination protected against SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant of concern (VOC) BA.4/5 sub-VOC or BA.2 sub-VOC infections.
