The Antioxidant and Pro-apoptotic effects of Sternbergia clusiana Bulb Ethanolic Extract on Breast Cancer Cells in vitro by El Samarji, Mona

“…Among the various Amaryllidaceae species, Sternbergia clusiana has been recently given a great amount of attention in the medicinal field due to its richness in small chemical molecules, namely Amaryllidaceae alkaloids; these have been reported to possess an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory role, in addition to a prominent anti-cancer effect on different types of cancer cell lines. The current study investigates the selective anti-proliferative effect of Sternbergia clusiana bulb ethanolic extract (SbBEE) on breast cancer cells cultured in vitro (MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7) and reveals the underlying mechanism responsible for the induction of cell death. …”

Investigating The Efficacy of Ruxolitinib and CHIR-99021 in Targeting Pediatric Neuroblastoma Stem Cells by Al Sayyed, Fatima

“…In this study, we investigate the efficacy of two small molecules Ruxolitinib, a JAK/STAT inhibitor, and CHIR-99021, a GSK-3 inhibitor, in targeting pediatric neuroblastoma stem cells by testing them on human MYC-N amplified, IMR-32, and non-MYC-N amplified, SK-N-SH, cell lines. Treating neuroblastoma cells with Ruxolitinib and CHIR-99021 resulted in significant reduction in cellular proliferation, viability, apoptosis and tumorsphere formation capacity in both IMR-32 and SK-N-SH cell lines. …”
