Background & Aim:Cervical cancer is the most common   female genital cancer and the second most common cancer in women in the   world. Since the herbal ingredients have been used for centuries to treat   cancer, purpose of the present study was to determine the cytotoxic   effect of hydroalcoholic extract from Satureja bachtiarica Bungeon   Hela cancer cells line. ...

Since human beings could travel beyond the earth atmosphere, scientists started to investigate the effect of microgravity on human cells. Microgravity has different effects on normal and cancer cells, but the related mechanisms are not well-known till now. The aim of the present review is to focus on the consequences of exposing the cancer cells to reduced gravity. Some cancer cells organize th...

Objective(s): Several beneficial effects have been attributed to the probiotic lactic acid bacteria. It was determined that lactobacilli can exert antiproliferative effects on the various cancer cell lines including colon cancer. Effects of lactic acid bacteria on colon cancer may vary from strain to strain and there is a need to find the new probiotic strains with tumor suppressing properties ...

Background: It seems that Vinca. herbacea has an anti-tumor effect. Here, the immunotherapeutic effect of this compound is assessed against human ovarian cancer (SKOV3) cells because of the high incidence of this tumor in women. Materials and Methods: The cytotoxic activity of V. herbacea extract against human ovarian cancer (SKOV3) cells was determined by MTT assay. The apoptosis-inducing pote...

background: prostate cancer after lung cancer is the second cause of cancer-associated death in men. in recent years, targeted therapy of cancer has attracted researchers attention. the targeted therapy lead to decrease in side effects of drugs. studies have indicated that targeting peptides for cancer cells represent valuable tools for diagnostic and therapeutic. recently, phage display peptid...
