Quercetin Suppresses Twist to Induce Apoptosis in MCF-7 Breast Cancer Cells. [PDF]
Quercetin is a dietary flavonoid which exerts anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties. In this study, we investigated the anti-proliferative effect of quercetin in two breast cancer cell lines (MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231), which differed in ...

Quercetin and Cancer Chemoprevention [PDF]
Several molecules present in the diet, including flavonoids, can inhibit the growth of cancer cells with an ability to act as “chemopreventers”. Their cancer‐preventive effects have been attributed to various mechanisms, including the induction of cell‐cycle arrest and/or apoptosis as well as the antioxidant functions.

Potential of Quercetin to Reduce Herbivory without Disrupting Natural Enemies and Pollinators
Quercetin is one of the most abundant flavonoids in terrestrial plants and pollen. In living plants, quercetin can function as a secondary metabolite to discourage insect herbivory.
