Article Synopsis
- Oral administration of modified homogalacturonan (HG) from Ficus pumila L. shows promise in treating colitis, but its effectiveness needs improvement.
- The study found that low-degrees of methyl-esterification (DM) in HG primarily help reduce inflammation, while high-DM HG aids in repairing the intestinal barrier, affecting gut microbiota differently.
- Increased acetylation (DA) reduces HG's solubility and shows limited anti-inflammatory effects but helps in microbiome regulation and barrier repair, highlighting the importance of structural modifications in HG's therapeutic potential.

Article Synopsis
- Plants from the genus are valuable for their medicinal and nutritional properties, especially in Chinese medicine, and have become popular in health products due to their safety and tonic effects.
- Polysaccharides, the key bioactive components of these plants, offer various health benefits, including immune support, anti-tumor effects, and regulation of blood sugar and lipids, making them useful in the food and pharma industries.
- Despite their potential, research on polysaccharides from the genus is limited compared to other components like ginsenosides, prompting this review to discuss extraction methods, biological activities, and applications, setting the stage for future development in nutrition and medicine.
