Article Synopsis
- Egyptian plants boast significant biodiversity, with traditional medicinal approaches enhancing health and potentially contributing to lower cancer rates in certain regions, particularly Sinai, known for its rich natural resources and historical significance.
- The study aims to document the various plants and natural products used in Egyptian cuisine and medicine, especially those with anticancer properties, detailing their traditional uses, chemical composition, and results from clinical trials.
- A comprehensive literature review identified numerous plant species linked to 67 bioactive compounds investigated for anticancer effects, with the Asteraceae family showing the most promising cytotoxic activities in vitro.

Many organisms display phenotypic plasticity as adaptation to seasonal environmental fluctuations. Often, such seasonal responses entails plasticity of a whole suite of morphological and life-history traits that together contribute to the adaptive phenotypes in the alternative environments. While phenotypic plasticity in general is a well-studied phenomenon, little is known about the evolutionary fate of plastic responses if natural selection on plasticity is relaxed.
