GeoBotanical: Retama raetam

1.

Mechanistic insights into Retama raetam's anti-proliferative and pro-apoptotic effects in A549 lung cancer cells: targeting PI3K/Akt pathway and ROS production.

Summary

Study on effects of tropical desert plant extract on NSCLC cells. Results show dose-dependent anti-proliferative effects, apoptosis induction, inhibition of cell migration, and interaction with PI3K/Akt pathways to promote cell death.Important for potential treatment of lung cancer.
