Anticancer activity of grassy Hystrix brachyura bezoar and its mechanisms of action: An in vitro and in vivo based study.

However, more experiments with higher vertebrae models are still warranted to validate its traditional claims as an anticancer agent. PMID: 30981106 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
