Is PJ the Cure?
| Division: | Life Sciences / Environmental Innovation | | Category: | Junior | | Region: | Greater Vancouver | | City: | Vancouver, BC | | School: | York House School | | Abstract: | An in vitro study of the anticancer activity of pomegranate juice (PJ) on both ovarian (CHO) and breast carcinoma (HTB-129) cells was conducted. Cell viability, proliferation and morphology were examined. Treatment of CHO cells with PJ resulted in a dose-dependent inhibition of cell growth by inducing apoptosis. However, the cytotoxicity of PJ to HTB-129 cells remains inconclusive and needs further research. |
