Trees of the species that grow in the tropics and subtropics contain compounds that are highly valuable for pharmacological research and medication development and have anticancer, antioxidant, and migratory properties. Metabolomics was used to functionally characterize natural products and to distinguish differences between varieties. Natural products are therefore bioactive-marked and highly respected in the field of drug innovation.

In colorectal cancer, tsMHC-II negativity is common, in cell lines due to promoter methylation.

The goal of this study is to assess the expression of breast cancer classification genes, to identify new molecular signatures in different intrinsic subtypes of breast cancer and to correlate their expression with different clinical variables. The study included 84 female patients newly diagnosed with non-metastatic breast cancer at the outpatient clinic at the National Cancer Institute, Cairo University, Egypt.

These analyses require high quality biomolecules to get accurate and precise results and this requires among others, monitoring for pre-analytical variables. The purpose of our study was to validate the SOPs of the newly established Egyptian National Cancer Institute (ENCI) biobank.
