The study concluded with the following extremely positive statement: "Taken together, we have proved our hypothesis by showing neuroprotective effects of the extract from L. barbarum."

Now in September, the following study was completed by the Department of Pathology at Guangzhou University in China regarding goji for cancer:

Effects of Lycium barbarum polysaccharide on tumor microenvironment T-lymphocyte subsets and dendritic cells in H22-bearing mice.

The study concluded with the following incredible statement: "Conclusion: LBP has anti-tumor effect probably by increasing the numbers of CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells in TIL to relieve the immunosuppression and enhance the anti-tumor function of the immune system."
