Anti-parasite benzimidazole drugs show promise for treating cancer, but remain SUPPRESSED by the FDA

October 13, 2023 - apoptosis of both parasites and cancer cells.

The researchers did however find that benzimidazole drugs have low water solubility, making them hard to apply in clinical applications. This has led researchers to combine the drug with nanoparticles for more effective applications in vivo. There are currently no clinical trials for Fenbendazole, yet there are clinical trials for a similar drug in this class, called Mebendazole. This drug is showing promise as an adjuvant ...

12 Potent ANTICANCER agents found in edible plants

January 30, 2024 -

Hallmark features of cancer include the ability to evade apoptosis (programmed cell death), induce angiogenesis (the growth of new blood vessels that tumors need to grow), replicate limitlessly, produce growth signals that are self-sufficient, be insensitive to anti-growth signals, invade nearby tissue and metastasize (spread to another part of the body).

Fortunately, studies show that naturally occurring bioactive compounds from plants, also known as phytochemicals, ...

STUDY: Carotenoid in brown seaweed has potent anticancer properties

July 21, 2023 - apoptosis and autophagy

Apoptosis is a form of programmed cell death that occurs naturally as a component of normal cell turnover. This process is also a normal part of development and aging and is even used by the body as a defense mechanism to eliminate damaged cells.

Autophagy, meanwhile, is a process by which cells destroy old, damaged components, such as abnormal proteins and other biomolecules. Cells then recycle these broken-down components for ...

Ginseng’s secret weapon: Battling cancer with ancient wisdom

October 16, 2023 -

Studied extensively, ginsenosides display anticancer and anti-metastatic properties – not only by restricting cancer cell proliferation, viability, invasion and migration, but also by promoting apoptosis (cell death) or paraptosis (a new and unique cell death mode), cell cycle arrest and autophagy (the body's process of reusing old and damaged cell parts) in several cancers, such as brain, breast, gastric, liver and lung cancer.

Studies also indicate that ginsenosides ...

Thai black ginger found to delay arthritis progression and suppress inflammation

December 21, 2023 - apoptosis (programmed cell death), respectively.

According to an earlier study by Japanese researchers, DMF and TMF in Thai black ginger can also suppress the expression of enzymes that degrade cartilage, as well as matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). MMPs are the main enzymes responsible for the degenerative changes in cartilage associated with arthritis. They are also said to play a role in inflammation.

Meanwhile, TeMF in Thai black ginger has been shown ...

Study: Curcumin in turmeric STARVES CANCER CELLS to death

August 29, 2023 - apoptosis, or cell death, in cell lines independent of hormone receptor expression.

In addition, curcumin inhibits the proliferation of breast cancer stem cells (BCSC) – an important factor that influences cancer recurrence. The inhibition of BCSC proliferation suppresses metastasis, or the spread of cancer to different parts of the body, and reattachment – ultimately limiting tumor formation.Colorectal cancer

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common ...

Cancer-fighting herbs: Queen Anne’s lace found to be effective against skin and cervical cancer

June 22, 2023 - apoptosis). This suggests that 2-himachalen-6-ol (and possibly other compounds) in Queen Anne's lace works by triggering the death of cancer cells.

To find out if the oil fraction containing 2-himachalen-6-ol could also inhibit the growth of tumors, the researchers injected the oil fraction into mice with chemically-induced skin carcinoma. Treatment with the oil fraction significantly reduced the growth, number and size of skin papillomas (benign tumors) in the mice, ...

4 Natural solutions that can help address CANCER

10 days ago - apoptosis (cell death) a number of different transformed and malignant cell types.

Meanwhile, The Truth About Cancer disclosed that sanguinarine can trigger apoptosis via three mechanisms, citing a study published May 2016 in Free Radical Biology and Medicine. According to the study, sanguinarine activates caspase (an enzyme that helps to break down proteins and other molecules), prompts DNA fragmentation and down-regulates anti-apoptotic proteins in laboratory ...

Study: Bitter melon shows promising results in fighting 6 CANCERS commonly found in women

July 26, 2023 - apoptosis (cell death) in malignant cells. (Related: Bitter melon can stop cancer cells from growing and spreading.)

Moreover, they noted its "potential synergistic effects with standard chemotherapy" leading them to conclude: "Bitter melon seems to represent a promising natural agent which, alone or in combination with standard chemoradiotherapy, may help prevent and treat breast, ovarian, and cervical cancer."

"Bitter melon extract and its active ingredients ...

Curcumin in turmeric found to suppress cancer growth in clinical trials

November 21, 2023 - apoptosis (programmed cell death) of prostate cancer cells. (Related: Curcumin found to stop cancer cell growth.)Colorectal cancer

Curcumin has been shown to prevent the growth of colorectal cancer by inducing cell cycle arrest and promoting apoptosis. In human colon cancer cell lines, treatment with curcumin results in reduced viability and proliferation, suggesting that the compound has a cytotoxic effect on cancer cells.

One of the ways through ...

The nice spice: Try allspice, a natural source of beneficial plant compounds

November 20, 2023 - apoptosis or the programmed death of cancerous cells.

Allspice’s anticancer effects have been studied on breast, colon, duodenal, gastric and prostate cancers. Its effect varies depending on the type of cancer.

Research conducted on breast cancer cell lines suggests that allspice extract leads to autophagy, or the body’s way of clearing unnecessary or damaged cells, such as cancerous cells, by degrading them.

Prostate cancer cells can also be eliminated ...

Study: Compounds in seaweeds show promise in cancer research

October 18, 2023 - apoptosis or cell death, against some types of cancer lines without affecting healthy cells negatively.

Here are the compounds in seaweeds that can help treat cancer, according to research.Fucoxanthin (brain cancer)

Researchers in the European Union (EU)-funded project GENIALG (GENetic diversity exploitation for Innovative macro-ALGal biorefinery) found that the compound fucoxanthin, a type of carotenoid pigment found in brown seaweeds, also known as sugar ...

Polyphenol-rich green tea can protect the skin from UV-induced damage

a month ago - apoptosis, or programmed cell death. The researchers took this as a positive sign, explaining that UVB-exposed keratinocytes undergoing apoptosis prevent the damaged cells from turning into cancerous cells. This means that applying EGCG from green tea to your skin could be an effective way of preventing skin cancer after sunburn.

Another mechanism underlying green tea's radioprotective effects is the inhibition of cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs) formation....

EPA monitoring a new class of toxic PFAS in municipal water supplies – GenX chemicals

January 31, 2024 - apoptosis and necrosis of liver cells. GenX chemicals notably increased liver enzymes, increased liver weight and even caused a constellation of lesions in the livers of female mice. Furthermore, the chemicals changed lipid and carbohydrate metabolism in pregnant mice, leading to anabolic challenges during early gestation and catabolic challenges in advanced pregnancy.

These are just the initial risks studied for oral exposures. The EPA also warns that GenX chemicals ...

Allspice is LOADED with vitamins and minerals and provides surprising health benefits

November 16, 2023 - apoptosis, or the death of cancerous cells.

Allspice's anticancer properties have been studied on certain cancers, including breast and prostate. Several breast cancer studies suggest that allspice extract promotes autophagy, or the process by which a body eats unnecessary or damaged cells, including cancerous cells.

The ability of allspice extract to inhibit the growth of the bacterium known as Helicobacter pylori also affects gastric cancer cell lines, ...
