Abstract in brief

  • This study investigates how extracts of frankincense and myrrh (FM) can reduce inflammation in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), potentially restoring the immune system's ability to fight the tumor by inhibiting key inflammatory signals like NFB and STAT3.
  • FM was shown to enhance the activity of immune cells such as CD8 T cells and NK cells, leading to increased tumor cell death, but mainly in immune-competent mice, indicating that an active immune system is necessary for its full anti-cancer effects.
  • The findings suggest that FM could serve as a complementary treatment for HCC by targeting inflammation and boosting immune responses, although its effectiveness depends on the presence of a functioning immune system.]

@Perdnoot @Caring_Atheist some people might actually think to google but what you are really saying, i think, is that it is easier to dismiss if you don't. https://t.co/0tnfRpKYxb https://t.co/2b9eFtqLol https://t.co/NYP6WM2jxK https://t.co/dHNBgP6gST
