The incidences of nonmelanoma skin cancer are increasing worldwide, and the ongoing war on its treatment necessitates the development of effective and non-invasive methods. Through basic and clinical research, non-inv...
Background: Psoriasis is a chronic disease that can have significant effects on quality of life. Aim: To test whether the antineoplastic, antipathogenic plant derived secondary metabolites, solasodine glycosides, can ...
Cancer remains a major cause of mortality worldwide. Progresses have been made in the understanding of the molecular basis of cancer, cancer detection, and cancer treatment. Important strides by treating early-stage c...
Aim Solasodine, a steroidal alkaloid isolated from solanaceous species, has been reported to exhibit anticancer activity on several cell lines. The aim of this study is to explore the antitumor potential of solasodine...
Solasodine rhamnosides produced in plants as secondary metabolites, are safe and effective when treating a variety of cancers, including non-melanoma skin cancers. They are cytotoxic against multi-drug resistant tumor...
In the last century, the discovery of cytotoxic agents was revolutionary for anticancer therapy. These therapies have resulted in better understanding of cancer in general. However, the development of agents that comb...
Background: Untreated actinic keratosis can advance to squamous cell carcinoma, which in turn is associated with a risk of metastasis. Current treatments for actinic keratosis have many shortcomings. This communicatio...
