Salvianolic acid B targets MST1/2-YAP axis to drive phospho-Smad3L/C conversion against hepatocarcinogenesis.
Summary: Liver cancer is a dangerous disease that is very hard to treat. Scientists have found a natural plant compound called Salvianolic acid B (Sal B) that might help. It works by flipping a special "switch" inside liver cells. This switch turns a cancer-causing protein into a cancer-fighting protein! In tests with mice, this plant compound successfully stopped liver cancer from growing. This exciting discovery could lead to a brand new way to treat liver cancer in the future.
