Potential role of nanophytochemicals in breast cancer therapy / Amit Sonkar and Priyanka Sonkar.This book is based on detailed coverage of the role of phytochemicals as a epigenetic modifier to prevent various cancers. It presents the novel features of phytochemicals and their role in preventing cancer by regulating DNA, RNA and protein levels. It also covers the role of various kinds of phytochemicals especially focused on vitamins, flavconoids, polyphenois and phytols in cancer prevention and treatment. It also deals with the discovery of novel biomarkers for cancer treatment that are enabled by phytochemical modulation of epigenetic activity, highlighting its promise as an alternative treatment approach in cancer. The major goal of this project is to summarise what we currently know about natural product active chemicals, including their pharmacologic activity and molecular markers. There are several books available on phytochemicals and cancer, but to date there is no such book reported which compiles the broad spectrum of applications of phytochemicals at epigenetic levels. This project is themed to combine, promote and lift the potentialities of dietary phytochemicals in cancer prevention and treatment and reduce the dependability on synthetic drugs which often cause many negative side effects.Researchers, scholars, practitioners, bioengineers in cancer biology, drug design and development, medicinal plants, botany, pharmaceutical sciences, biochemistry, plant molecular biology and medical studies.Also available in print.Mode of access: World Wide Web.System requirements: Adobe Acrobat Reader, EPUB reader, or Kindle reader.Dr. Nidhi Puranik is a Research Assistant Professor in the Department of Life Science at Yeungnam University in Gyeongsan, South Korea.
