Journal Article
Beeby, E., Magalhães, M., Lemos, M. F. L., Pires, I. M., & Cabral, C. (in press). Cytotoxic effects of Ridolfia segetum (L.) Moris phytoproducts in cancer cells. Journal of Ethnopharmacology, Article 113515. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jep.2020.113515

Ethnopharmacological relevance: The past few years have witnessed an increasing interest in essential oils (EOs) as potential therapeutic agents against a wide variety of pathologies, including cancer. EOs extracted from Ridolfia segetum (L.) Moris (... Read More about Cytotoxic effects of Ridolfia segetum (L.) Moris phytoproducts in cancer cells.

Secondary metabolites (essential oils) from sand-dune plants induce cytotoxic effects in cancer cells (2020)
Journal Article
Beeby, E., Magalhães, M., Poças, J., Collins, T., Lemos, M., Barros, L., Ferreira, I., Cabral, C., & Pires, I. M. (2020). Secondary metabolites (essential oils) from sand-dune plants induce cytotoxic effects in cancer cells. Journal of Ethnopharmacology, 258, Article 112803. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jep.2020.112803

Ethnopharmacological relevance: Despite advances in modern therapeutic strategies, cancer remains the second leading cause of death worldwide. Therefore, there is a constant need to develop more efficient anticancer targeting strategies. The anticanc...

Low molecular weight heparin suppresses tissue factor-mediated cancer cell invasion and migration in vitro (2011)
Journal Article
Ettelaie, C., Fountain, D., Collier, M. E. W., Beeby, E., Xiao, Y. P., & Maraveyas, A. (2011). Low molecular weight heparin suppresses tissue factor-mediated cancer cell invasion and migration in vitro. Experimental and Therapeutic Medicine, 2(2), 363-367. https://doi.org/10.3892/etm.2011.211

Elevated expression of tissue factor (TF) has been associated with an increased risk of thrombosis in the majority of cancers. Moreover, treatment of cancer patients with low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) appears to have beneficial effects that rea...
