A mechanistic insight into the potential anti-cancerous property of Nigella sativa on breast cancer through micro-RNA regulation: An in vitro & in vivo study.

In this study, researchers investigated the potential of Black Seed Oil (BSO) as a safer and less toxic alternative to traditional cancer treatments. They focused on the oil soluble phytochemicals found in BSO, specifically Thymoquinone, Carvacrol, and Trans-Anethole. When used together, these compounds showed promising results in inhibiting breast cancer cell migration and inducing apoptosis. Chemical characterization of the individual phytochemicals and the whole BSO extract confirmed their bioactive properties. The study also uncovered the role of microRNAs in regulating breast cancer progression and highlighted the synergistic action of the BSO components. This research provides valuable insights for developing more effective and targeted treatments for breast cancer.
