Journal ArticleDOI

Plants vs. cancer: a review on natural phytochemicals in preventing and treating cancers and their druggability.

TL;DR: This review summarizes the latest research in cancer chemoprevention and treatment using the bioactive components from natural plants and relevant molecular mechanisms involved in the pharmacological effects of these phytochemicals are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dietary phytochemicals and cancer prevention: Nrf2 signaling, epigenetics, and cell death mechanisms in blocking cancer initiation and progression.

TL;DR: The future development of dietary phytochemicals for chemoprevention must integrate in vitro signaling mechanisms, relevant biomarkers of human diseases, and combinations of different phytochemicalicals and/or non-toxic therapeutic drugs, including NSAIDs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mutational dynamics of microsatellites.

TL;DR: The present review focuses on the mutational dynamics of microsatellites with special reference to mutational mechanisms and their role in microsatellite evolution.
Journal ArticleDOI

Breeding quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.): potential and perspectives

TL;DR: New molecular tools available for the existing quinoa breeding programs, which are critically examined in this review, will enable us to tackle the limitations of allotetraploidy and genetic specificities.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dietary Glucosinolates Sulforaphane, Phenethyl Isothiocyanate, Indole-3-Carbinol/3,3′-Diindolylmethane: Antioxidative Stress/Inflammation, Nrf2, Epigenetics/Epigenomics and In Vivo Cancer Chemopreventive Efficacy

TL;DR: The cancer chemopreventive role of naturally occurring glucosinolate derivatives as inhibitors of carcinogenesis is summarized, with particular emphasis on specific molecular targets and epigenetic alterations in in vitro and in vivo human cancer animal models.
