Anti-proliferative Activity of Hibiscus sabdariffa L. Calyx Flavonoid Extracts on Cervical Cancer Cells using Flow Cytometry
(Pharmacognosy Communications, 2021)Background: Impairment of the normal progression of the cell cycle affects the growth and development of the daughter cells, which may result in cancer cell proliferation. Herein, we investigate the effect of flavonoid ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
The biochemical and molecular mechanisms involved in the role of tumor micro-environment stress in development of drug resistance
(Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - General Subjects, 2019)Background: Multi-drug resistance (MDR) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in cancer and it continues to be a challenge in cancer treatment. Moreover, the tumor micro-environment is essential to the formation ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
Tumor-induced neoangiogenesis and receptor tyrosine kinases - Mechanisms and strategies for acquired resistance
(Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - General Subjects, 2019)Background: Angiogenesis is essential for tumor growth, proliferation and metastasis. Tumor-related angiogenesis is complex and involves multiple signaling pathways. Controlling angiogenesis is a promising strategy for ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
Targeting Oncogenic Nuclear Factor Kappa B Signaling with Redox-Active Agents for Cancer Treatment
