Thyme essential oil nanoemulsion was prepared and had antibacterial, antifungal, and anticancer activities. Th-nanoemulsion was more effective than the Th-emulsion in inhibiting cell growth and caspase activity, making it a potential treatment option.
This study compared the antioxidant and anticancer properties of different forms of garlic. Garlicin supplement had high antioxidant activity and fresh garlic extracts strongly inhibited lung cancer cell growth. The preparation and processing methods of garlic can impact its antioxidant benefits.
Different mistletoe extracts from hawthorn, lime trees, willow trees, and poplar trees significantly inhibited bladder cancer cell growth. The extracts also induced apoptosis and altered the expression of certain proteins involved in cell cycle regulation. Integrating mistletoe into treatment regimens could optimize bladder cancer therapy.
Avocado and its compounds have shown potential anticancer effects by inducing cell death and inhibiting tumor growth. Avocado leaf extract increased free radicals in cancer tissue. However, more comprehensive and clinical studies are needed for avocado-derived phytochemicals to be used as cancer prevention and treatment options.
A review found that extracts from the HS plant contain phytochemicals with anti-cancer effects, such as reducing cancer cell growth and promoting cell death. These compounds also impact cellular signaling pathways involved in cancer prevention.
Researchers investigated the psychological and physical effects of radioactive iodine therapy for thyroid cancer patients, highlighting the importance of considering both aspects for better patient care.
Researchers developed an assay system to monitor FGFR3 activation and discovered that two porphyrins and an extract from Amaranthus viridis can reduce overactive FGFR3 signaling in multiple myeloma cells and chondrocytes, as well as improve bone growth in mice. These findings offer a new strategy for identifying potential treatments for FGFR3-related diseases.
Study explores use of jackfruit seeds as functional ingredients for novel treatments for diseases like cancer, highlighting their therapeutic properties. Potential for consuming seeds as dietary food to prevent and treat cancer and other lifestyle diseases is also discussed.
