Effects of Plant Active Components on Cell Metabolism and Their Anti-tumor Properties

Dear Colleagues,

We would like to invite you to submit an original research or review article to a Special Issue entitled “Effects of Plant Active Components on Cell Metabolism and their Anti-tumor Properties”.

Medicinal plants have a long history of use for human health and wellness. In recent decades, traditional plant-based remedies have continued to play a key role in health care in spite of the remarkable recent advances in chemical synthesis and the progress of pharmacology. Moreover, numerous products derived from traditional medicinal plants have proven to be a source of biologically active components, many of which have been the basis for the discovery of new lead chemicals for drug development. Therefore, this Special Issue aims to collect the latest findings and advances in traditional medicinal plant research, including studies on wild edible species, and their current and potential future applications on cell metabolism and their anti-tumor properties.
