Epicatechin Gallate Impairs Colon Cancer Cell Metabolic Productivity

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2013
Green tea and grape phenolics inhibit cancer growth and modulate cellular metabolism. Targeting the tumor metabolic profile is a novel therapeutic approach to inhibit cancer cell proliferation. Therefore, we treated human colon adenocarcinoma HT29 cells with the phenolic compound epicatechin gallate (ECG), one of the main catechins in green tea and the

Evaluating the Efficacy of Polyphenol‐Enriched Plant Extracts and Pathway Modulators in the Bone Marrow to Suppress Breast Cancer Progression

The FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 6, 31 March 2026.
The combined therapy decreased inflammatory and angiogenic signaling and altered bone marrow cell profiles linked to tumor dormancy, indicating a potential approach to limit disease progression and reduce relapse risk in breast cancer. ABSTRACT Disseminated tumor cells (DTCs) in the bone marrow can survive in a dormant state and later reawaken to drive
