This research article is a legendary work that ignited research on Resveratrol in the cancer industry around the world.

The article is titled: "Cancer chemopreventive activity of resveratrol, a natural product derived from grapes."

● Published in the journal: Science Year of publication: 1997

● Main author: M. Jang (together with John M. Pezzuto et al.)

Important information of this research

This research is an important starting point (Landmark study) showing that Resveratrol has cancer prevention properties. (Chemopreventive activity) by Jang and colleagues conducted an experiment in a mouse skin cancer model and found that applying Resveratrol to the skin can inhibit the cancer process in several steps. Both in the beginning (Initiation), promotion (Promotion) and progression (Progression)

The main points presented

1. Mechanism of Action: Research suggests that Resveratrol acts as an antioxidant. (Antioxidant) and anti-inflammatory substances (Anti-inflammatory) by inhibiting enzymes involved in inflammation and the creation of carcinogens, such as inhibiting the activity of Cyclooxygenase (COX)

2. Influence on the Industry: The results of Jang's (1997) study became an important database that has led researchers around the world to study Resveratrol seriously until now. As a natural nutrient that has the potential to prevent and treat cancer.
