Lichens produce different classes of phenolic compounds, including anthraquinones,
xanthones, dibenzofuranes, depsides and depsidones. Many of them have revealed …

Lichens are symbiotic organisms composed of at least one fungal and one algal species.
They are found in different environments around the world, even in the poles and deserts …

Aims It was aimed to investigate the thioredoxin reductase 1 (TrxR1)-targeted anticancer
effect of vulpinic (VA) and lecanoric (LA) acids, which are lichen secondary metabolites, on …

The objective of this research was to characterize the chemical composition of ethanolic
extracts of the lichen species Placopsis contortuplicata, Ochrolechia frigida, and Umbilicaria …

Secondary metabolites from fungi, algae and lichens have remarkable biological activities
as antibiotics, fungicides, antiviral drugs, and cancer therapeutics. This review focuses on …

The human ribosomes are the cellular machines that participate in protein synthesis, which
is deeply affected during cancer transformation by different oncoproteins and is shown to …

Background Ribosome biogenesis is a central process in every growing cell. In eukaryotes,
it requires more than 250 non-ribosomal assembly factors, most of which are essential …

Breast cancer (BC) is the second leading cause of death among women, and it has become
a global health issue due to the increasing number of cases. Different treatment options …

Lichens, algae and fungi-based symbiotic associations, are sources of many important
secondary metabolites, such as antibiotics, anti-inflammatory, antioxidants, and anticancer …

Background: Lichens are a composite consortium of a fungus and an alga. The symbiotic
