There is ample irony in the fact that biologists still argue whether programmed cell death in plants may be defined as "apoptotic cell death" (K.Y. Kreeger, The Scientist, Nov. 11, 1996, page 13).

These plants demonstrate a wide range of anticancer properties, including the ability to induce apoptosis (cell death), halt the cell cycle, inhibit angiogenesis, and regulate inflammatory responses.

Medicinal plants exert anticancer effects through multiple pathways, including cell cycle arrest, apoptosis induction, and disruption of signaling cascades. The mechanisms employed by each plant's ...

Scientists recorded the popping noises that plants make in response to stresses like dehydration or a cut. By Darren Incorvaia Humans have glorious ways of vocalizing discontent: We grumble ...
