Analysis Reasoning

Aqueous dandelion root extract (DRE) induced programmed cell death in over 95% of colorectal cancer cells (HT-29 and HCT116 lines) within 48 hours in lab studies, with no toxicity to non-cancer cells, as shown by propidium iodide staining and confirmed in mouse xenograft models reducing tumor growth by over 90%. The research was conducted by Canadian scientists at the University of Windsor.
