Mahmoud M. Suhail,Weijuan Wu,Amy Cao,Fadee G. Mondalek,Kar Ming Fung,Pin Tsen Shih,Pin Tsen Shih,Yu Ting Fang,Yu Ting Fang,Cole Woolley,Gary Young,Hsueh Kung Lin +11 more
TL;DR: Suppression of cellular network formation and disruption of spheroid development of breast cancer cells by Boswellia sacra essential oil suggest that the essential oil may be effective for advanced breast cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of a monoclonal antibody for human aldo-keto reductase AKR1C3 (type 2 3α-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase/type 5 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase) ; immunohistochemical detection in breast and prostate
TL;DR: The characterization of a high-titer isoform specific monoclonal antibody (Ab) for AKR1C3 is described, which can be used to detect AKR 1C3 expression by immunohistochemistry in sections of paraffin-embedded mammary gland and prostate.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mark Barton Frank,Qing-Qing Yang,Jeanette Osban,Joseph Azzarello,Marcia R. Saban,Ricardo Saban,Richard A. Ashley,Jan C Welter,Kar Ming Fung,Hsueh-Kung Lin,Hsueh-Kung Lin +10 more
TL;DR: Frankincense oil appears to distinguish cancerous from normal bladder cells and suppress cancer cell viability and might represent an alternative intravesical agent for bladder cancer treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Frankincense essential oil prepared from hydrodistillation of Boswellia sacra gum resins induces human pancreatic cancer cell death in cultures and in a xenograft murine model.
Xiao Yan Ni,Mahmoud M. Suhail,Qing-Qing Yang,Amy Cao,Kar Ming Fung,Russell G. Postier,Cole Woolley,Gary Young,Jingzhe Zhang,Hsueh-Kung Lin +9 more
TL;DR: All fractions of frankincense essential oil from Boswellia sacra are capable of suppressing viability and inducing apoptosis of a panel of human pancreatic cancer cell lines, and all exhibited anti-proliferative and pro-apoptotic activities against pancreatic tumors in the heterotopic xenograft mouse model.
