| Project Title: | Mechanism of Cancer Chemoprevention by Constituents of Cruciferous Vegetables |
| Research Institution: | University of California |
| State, Country: | California, United States |
| Researchers: | Oliver Hankinson, Ph.D. |
| Year: | 2005 |
| Project Description: | Dr. Hankinson’s studies are designed to address the antitumor mechanism and the potential chemopreventive effects of 3, 3’-di-indolylmethanine (DIM), a phytochemical found in cruciferous vegetables. Dr. Hankinson will examine if DIM inhibits metastasis of human breast and ovarian cancer cell lines through modulation of chemokine receptors and chemotaxis. |
