Linseman Summary The content of this book gives a multi-disciplinary approach into the anti-cancer research field related to natural products and dietary compounds. Mainly, it covers the area of antitumor activity through an in-depth description of the cytotoxic, anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties in cancer, inflammatory and cardio-vascular diseases. The cell death inducing mechanisms (apoptosis, anti-proliferative activity, angiogenesis, cell cycle control, cytostatic property and autophagy) give an overview of how natural products are able to target cancer cells Analysis Medicine Biomedicine biomedische wetenschappen Medicine (General) Geneeskunde (algemeen) Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes English Subject Cell death.
