In another independent study, IISc also found that the extract of the plant, Vernonia Condensata, too aids in cancer treatment. And in killing the cancerous cells, the compound was not seen leaving any significant adverse effects on non-cancerous cells of the body. The researchers at IISc studied the anti-tumour potential of a potential drug on mice models of cancer and cells in culture. A similar breed of natural cures for cancers has now been found by researchers at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bengaluru, in Quercetin, a compound, and the plant Vernonia Condensata. It halts the multiplication of cancerous cells by blocking the process of cell division.
