Diospyros Peregrina Fruit Preparation Mediated Immunomodulation of Lymphocytes Isolated From The Blood of Breast Cancer Patients.

Background: Breast cancer is an uncontrolled growth of epithelial cells. The loss of Breast Cancer gene1 (BRCA1) activity due to mutation or down-regulation of gene expression promotes tumorigenesis and increases the risk of breast cancer.

Objectives: We aimed to pulsate lymphocytes of breast cancer patients and normal individuals, using Diospyros peregrina fruit preparation (DFP) to study the cancer-protective immunity, and the signal transduction processes involved with it.

Statins and cognitive function: an updated review.

Ischemic heart disease remains the leading cause of death in the USA. Statins have substantially contributed to the decline in mortality due to heart disease. Historically, statins are hypothesized to be neuroprotective and beneficial in dementia, but recent reports have suggested an association with transient cognitive decline.
