In this study, researchers from Nanjing University in China evaluated the potential anti-osteosarcoma effects of Paris polyphylla (love apple) ethanol extracts (PPEE) and investigated the underlying mechanisms. The results of their study, which detailed the anticancer activity of PPEE, were published in The American Journal of Chinese Medicine.
Based on these results, the researchers concluded that PPEE possesses anti-VM and anti-osteosarcoma activity in vitro and in vivo, making it a potential candidate for osteosarcoma treatment.
