Published in ACS Pharmacology & Translational Science, the research indicates that Schisandrin B induces programmed cell death in cancer cells by triggering a stress response. Despite its potential efficacy and low toxicity against healthy cells, caution is advised due to possible adverse interactions with medications. Further research is necessary to validate these findings, explore clinical applications, and obtain regulatory approval of natural products for medical use. (Medical News Today)
