In this study, Chinese researchers investigated the immunomodulatory activity of a polysaccharide isolated from Dendrobium sonia. They discussed their findings in an article published in the Chinese Journal of Natural Medicines.
Based on these findings, the researchers concluded that D. sonia polysaccharide can be used to treat patients with immunosuppressive conditions.
