“…Previous studies have demonstrated that 4-shogaol from ginger may be a novel anticancer agent (Chen et al, 2019). Garcinol has also shown strong activity against breast cancer and leukemia (Jainu et al, 2018). Bionanotechnology has a pivotal role in the development of novel therapies (Ke et al, 2019;Wang et al, 2019).…”
