Abstract

A therapeutic fungus used in Traditional Chinese Medicine is called Cordyceps sinensis. Despite the wide variety of claimed applications for Cordyceps sinensis, the claims that its extracts may change apoptotic homeostasis are the most fascinating. However, there are several obstacles to overcome while doing Cordyceps sinensis research, such as the challenge of distinguishing amongst the numerous Cordyceps species and many conflicting pharmacological actions reported in the review. This review will discuss how Cordyceps sinensis can change apoptotic homeostasis, Identify the difficulties facing the future while balancing the variances in function and investigate the benefits of Cordyceps sinensis and outline potential solutions to its serious challenges.
