BackgroundCancer involves uncontrolled cell growth due to genetic mutations. Tumors can form when CDK6, a gene essential for controlling cell growth, isn't working correctly. Researchers are investigating drugs that inhibit CDK6; some of them appear promising. Nevertheless, CDK6 is advantageous and harmful to cancer because it controls other cellular processes. By inhibiting CDK6 and CDK4, CDK4/6 inhibitors offer Read More

Quercetin is a natural flavonoid with various pharmacological actions such as anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antimicrobial, anticancer, antiviral, antidiabetic, cardioprotective, neuroprotective, and antiviral activities. Looking at these enormous potentials, researchers have explored how they can be used to manage numerous cancers. It's been studied for cancer management due to its anti-angiogenesis, anti-metastatic, and Read More

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a debilitating neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the presence of amyloid-β (Aβ) plaques and tau-containing neurofibrillary tangles, leading to cognitive and physical decline. Representing the majority of dementia cases, AD poses a significant burden on healthcare systems globally, with onset typically occurring after the age of 65. While most cases are sporadic, about 10% exhibit autoso Read More
