- Breast cancer is the most prevalent cancer globally, and the study investigates cynaropicrin, a natural compound, for its potential to inhibit cancer cell growth and induce apoptosis in breast cancer cells.
- Treatment with cynaropicrin led to reduced cell viability in the MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 cell lines, with increased apoptosis observed in MDA-MB-231 cells, confirmed by various assays.
- The findings suggest cynaropicrin might serve as a promising anti-cancer agent, particularly against triple negative breast cancer (TNBC), which often exhibits resistance to conventional therapies.*

Limited research exists on comparing water flossing and interdental flossing in orthodontic patients.
