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.
Jong Hun Lee,Tin Oo Khor,Limin Shu,Zheng-Yuan Su,Francisco Fuentes,Francisco Fuentes,Ah-Ng Tony Kong +6 more
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.
Atul Bhargava,Francisco Fuentes +1 more
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
Andrés Zurita-Silva,Francisco Fuentes,Pablo Zamora,Pablo Zamora,Sven-Erik Jacobsen,Andrés R. Schwember +5 more
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.
