Research Paper Platinum - Based Nanovectors Engineered with Immuno - Modulating Adjuvant
for Inhibiting Tumor growth and Promoting Immunity Lisha Liu, Qinjun Chen, Chunhui Ruan, Xinli Chen, Yu Zhang, Xi He, Yujie Zhang, Yifei Lu, Qin Guo, Tao Sun, Hao Wang, Chen Jiang Theranostics 2018; 8 (11): 2974 - 2987.
Immune cells
initially inhibit tumor growth; however, tumor cells often suppress not only the tumor - inhibitory function of immune cells, but they can also hijack immune cells to promote tumor growth.
They explain that, «High - dose P4 [progesterone] inhibited tumor growth by suppressing cell proliferation and inducing apoptosis...» Apoptosis is programmed cell death, and a hallmark of cancer cells is that they don't die when they're supposed to.
In fact, they stressed the fact of quercetin's effectiveness as a single agent against pancreatic cancer tumors, declaring: «Quercetin
alone inhibited tumor growth to such an extent that it could not be further enhanced by the addition of gemcitabine.»
However, when it is combined with the ketogenic diet it has a significant complementary effect
at inhibiting tumor growth and increasing survival time.
Curcumin, from the Indian spice turmeric, warrants special mention, as it
also inhibits tumor growth and metastasis, and can reduce the side effects of chemotherapy.
that specifically
inhibit tumor growth by targeting the Hedgehog pathway have been approved by the FDA to treat basal cell carcinoma, giving patients with advanced cases of this type of skin cancer a better chance of survival.

inhibit tumor growth when the tumors are implanted in mice, researchers have found.
Goji's are reported to have anti-aging properties and show anti-tumor activities against various types of skin cancer cells by
inhibiting tumor growth and inducing apoptosis.
Mogroside V has been found in research to have the ability to
inhibit tumor growth in pancreatic cancer by interfering with the rapid dividing of cancer cells, preventing angiogenesis (blood flow to the tumor), and even promoting cancer cell death (10).
Several university studies have suggested that capsaicin consumption can aid in weight loss and
inhibit tumor growth.
Cancer: Flaxseed may protect against breast cancer, prostate cancer, and colon cancer by
inhibiting tumor growth and blocking enzymes that are involved in the spread of tumor cells.
«This opens up the door: we can then try out different combinations and regimens to find the most effective way to kill the cells and
inhibit tumor growth.»
«Bringing natural killer cells to the tumor battlefield: Scientists discover a mechanism that
inhibits tumor growth in skin cancer.»
They also tested Rapalink's ability to
inhibit tumor growth in animal experiments, and found that it reduced the size of tumors that were resistant to first - or second - generation mTOR inhibitors.
While research has supported AMD3100's ability to
inhibit tumor growth and metastasis, the mechanism behind its effects on mesothelioma had not been determined.
All of these foods contain the inositol phosphate IP5 — a compound that even at low dose limits the supply of blood to tumor cells and
inhibits tumor growth in mice, according to new findings.
In the study, the compound caused human melanoma cells to die and
inhibited tumor growth by about 69 percent in a mouse model.
In a previous study, Lonard and co-senior study author Bert O'Malley of Baylor College of Medicine screened a large number of compounds to identify SRC - inhibiting molecules that kill a wide variety of cancer cells and
inhibit tumor growth in animal models.
Now, in Stem Cells Translation Medicine, the group of Shu Wang at the National University of Singapore describe the derivation of EPCs from human iPSCs, their therapeutic modification, and their ability to
inhibit tumor growth in a mouse breast cancer model [4].
Greatest hope: Even though
it inhibits tumor growth, it likely won't be a standalone cure for cancer.
He already is exploring ways to manipulate the unfolded protein response to
inhibit tumor growth, based on his earlier discoveries.
In a follow - up study, one of the compounds — beta - escin, isolated from the seed of the Chinese horse chestnut —
inhibited tumor growth and metastasis by 97 percent.
