Quercetin conjugated with silica nanoparticles inhibits tumor growth in MCF-7 breast cancer cell lines.

Background: Quercetin is a plant polyphenol from the flavonoid group that plays a fundamental role in controlling homeostasis due to its potent antioxidant properties. However, quercetin has extremely low water solubility, which is a major challenge in drug absorption.

Method: In this study, we described a simple method for the synthesis of quercetin nanoparticles.

Low dose administration of Bisphenol A induces liver toxicity in adult rats.

Background: Bisphenol A (BPA) is one of the most widely used chemicals, often used in epoxy resins, health products and colors. This study aims to investigate the effect of various doses of BPA on hepatotoxicity in rats.

Method: This experimental study was conducted using 20 male adult Wistar rats older than 2 months weighing 150-200 g.
