Synergism of antiproliferative effects of young green barley and chlorella water extracts against human breast cancer cells.

Researchers aimed to expand understanding of the potential benefits of using young green barley and chlorella to reduce the risk of breast cancer. These plant-based foods have shown chemopreventive properties in previous studies. However, limited scientific reports exist on their effect on breast cancer development. This study sought to contribute to the knowledge in this area, suggesting these foods as a reasonable therapeutic strategy in combating this common and deadly form of cancer.

Metal-organic framework-encapsulated dihydroartemisinin nanoparticles induces apoptotic cell death in ovarian cancer by blocking ROMO1-mediated ROS production.

Researchers developed ZIF-DHA nanoparticles to enhance the anticancer properties of dihydroartemisinin (DHA) by improving its delivery to ovarian cancer cells and reducing cellular reactive oxygen species. The study suggests that ZIF-DHA nanoparticles could be a promising treatment for ovarian cancer. (40 words)

Morusin shows potent antitumor activity for melanoma through apoptosis induction and proliferation inhibition.

Recent studies have found that morusin, a natural compound derived from the root bark of Morus Alba, shows promise in treating various types of cancers, such as breast, gastric, and prostate cancer. However, its effectiveness against melanoma cells remains unexplored. The discovery of new anti-melanoma drugs is urgently needed in the medical field, and understanding the potential of morusin could lead to the development of effective treatments with low side effects.
