Description
This project explored the role of oxidative stress pathways in cancer progression, particularly in breast, renal, and brain cancers. By analyzing gene expression data from various databases and conducting experiments with cell cultures and human tissue samples, we contributed to understand how specific proteins involved in regulating cellular redox status contribute to cancer development. Additionally, we screened natural compounds to identify potential therapies that target these proteins.
