Fisetin, a natural flavonoid, targets chemoresistant human pancreatic cancer AsPC-1 cells through DR3-mediated inhibition of NF-kappaB.

13 Nov 2009 Death receptors of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor super family have been implicated in constitutive activation of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kappaB) in pancreatic cancer (PaC) cells. In this study, we demonstrate that fisetin, a natural ... Read more...

Nutrition, brain aging, and neurodegeneration.

12 Oct 2009 The onset of age-related neurodegenerative diseases superimposed on a declining nervous system could enhance the motor and cognitive behavioral deficits that normally occur in senescence. It is likely that, in cases of severe deficits in memory or ... Read more...

Correlation between anti-fibrotic effect of baicalin and serum cytokines in rat hepatic fibrosis.

5 Oct 2009 AIM: To investigate the correlation between the antifibrotic effect of baicalin and serum cytokine production in rat hepatic fibrosis. METHODS: Forty male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided randomly into four groups: normal control group, model group, ... Read more...
