Encapsulation and delivery systems of cinnamon essential oil for food preservation applications.

Cinnamon essential oil (CEO) can be used as a natural food preservative, but its low solubility and degradability are limitations. Encapsulation and delivery systems like spray drying and liposomes have been developed to improve CEO's efficiency, enhancing food preservation and extending shelf life.

Inonotsutriol E from Inonotus obliquus exhibits promising anti breast cancer activity via regulating the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway.

Scientists studied a fungus and found compounds that can kill tumor cells, especially in breast cancer. One compound, ITE, inhibits the growth and migration of breast cancer cells by blocking the JAK2/STAT3 signal axis. This study supports the use of this fungus in cancer treatment.
