ERA treatment reduces BC metastasis and progression by down-regulating key markers and angiogenic chemokines, inhibiting tumor growth in mice. ERA extract contains potential therapeutic compounds to combat BC.
Researchers used scanning electron microscopy to identify 20 important medicinal plant species in the Euphorbiaceae family by analyzing their leaf anatomy. They recorded various qualitative and quantitative measurements for features such as epidermal cells, stomata, and trichomes on both sides of the leaves. Most species had irregular or polygonal epidermal cells, while only five had hexagonal cells. Stomata were more abundant on the underside of the leaves, and some species had specialized types of stomata. Trichomes were present in few species. Quantitative measurements also revealed differences between species. This study shows that leaf anatomy can be a useful tool for identifying Euphorbiaceae species with medicinal importance.
