Findings from Shandong University of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Apoptosis Reported (Natural products targeting autophagy and apoptosis in NSCLC: a novel therapeutic strategy).

A report from Shandong University of Traditional Chinese Medicine discusses the role of autophagy and apoptosis in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The researchers highlight the complex relationship between these processes and the potential for natural products to be used as therapeutic candidates for NSCLC. The paper explores the mechanisms of autophagy and apoptosis, their interactions in NSCLC, and reviews natural products that have been studied for their effects on autophagy and apoptosis in NSCLC. The researchers conclude that natural products targeting autophagy and apoptosis show promise as anti-NSCLC drugs. [Extracted from the article]
