Background: Lactoferrin (Lf) is a glycoprotein, a member of the transferrin family.From ten known mechanisms of anti-cancer chemoperotecive compounds, Lf alone, has six of these functions and inhibits cancer. In this study, the effect of lactoferrin purified from bovine colostrum was studied as an anti-cancer agent on esophageal cancer cell line. Materials and Methods: Bovine colostrum were ...

background : colorectal cancer, a major health concern worldwide, is the third most common form of cancer and second leading cause of cancer-related deaths. the flavonoids are naturally occurring diphenylpropanoids ubiquitous in plant foods and important components of the human diet. luteolin, a bioflavonoid, possesses many beneficial effects including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-aller...

Objective(s): Lung cancer is the main leading cause of cancer death worldwide. Angiogenesis is the main step in proliferation and spreading of tumor cells. Targeting vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is an effective approach for inhibition of cancer angiogenesis. Nanobodies (NBs) are a novel class of antibodies derived from the camel. Unique characteristics of Nbs like their small size ...

Various mushrooms have been used as folk medicine for long times, the higher Basidiomycetes have become a matter of great interest due to their diverse nutritional, medicinal, and pharmacological properties. 650 species and intraspecific taxa from 182 genera of higher Hetero- and Homo-basidiomycetes have been listed that contain biological active anti-tumor and immunostimulative polysaccharides...
