Hormel Institute work featured in May issue of Cancer Research
Published Thursday, June 4, 2009
The work of Dr. Yong Yeon Cho and Dr. Zigang Dong of The Hormel Institute’s Cellular and Molecular Biology group was featured on the cover of Cancer Research in May.
The innovative work featured a natural compound known as kaempferol, which is highly abundant in green onions.
This compound was found to potently suppress cancer cell growth by interacting with an important protein, referred to as RSK2 that is found at high levels in cancer cells, and subsequently preventing its activation.
