Fenugreek Suppresses Malignant Phenotypes in MCF-7 Cells
The study evaluated fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum) extract for its ability to inhibit cathepsin G activity and suppress malignant characteristics in MCF-7 human breast cancer cells. The researchers screened 50 spice and herb extracts and found that fenugreek strongly inhibited cathepsin G, a neutrophil-derived serine protease associated with breast cancer progression. Fenugreek extract almost completely suppressed Read More

Detection of calcium-associated nociceptive activity in neuropathic pain models using [51Mn]MnCl2 PET/MR
This study evaluated 51^MnCl2 PET/MR as a molecular imaging tool to detect calcium-associated neural activity in a rat spared nerve injury model of neuropathic pain. Researchers observed that nerve injury induced mechanical hypersensitivity and elevated tracer uptake in relevant spinal cord regions and injured sciatic nerves, both of which were reduced following buprenorphine administration. Ultimately, Read More
