Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cancer progression is a result of genetic, dietary and environmental risk factors. Dietary components owing biological activities have been shown to modulate the major signalling transduction pathways that are altered in cancer. This Special Issue is focused on the effects of dietary factors on cancer. The submission of original research articles or reviews related to the role of dietary factors on cancer is encouraged.
Potential topics may include, but are not limited to:·
- In vitro and in vivo mechanisms of action of dietary factors on cancer cells
- Studies on novel methods to enhance bioavailability of dietary components with anticancer activity
- Effects of diet composition on nutritional biomarkers
- Epidemiological investigations on the role of the diet on cancer risk and survival
- Studies on novel strategies for extraction, purification and characterization of dietary components with anticancer activity
- Studies on the development of food products enriched with dietary components with anticancer activity
