About this Research Topic
This Research Topic aims to identify novel natural compounds from plants and their molecular mode of action via targeting aberrant cell signalling pathways in cervical cancer progression. Altogether, the experimental data and evidence presented in this collection will help scientists and researchers understand the assorted beneficial effects of the numerous classes of natural products for developing new and safe drugs for possible cervical cancer therapy.
Submissions must be related to cervical cancer, including, but not limited to, the following themes are welcome:
• The mechanisms of cervical cancer's abnormal signal transduction pathways and their effects on carcinogenesis, apoptosis, and metastasis.
• Role of plant phytochemicals in the cell signalling modulations in cervical cancer.
• Therapeutic potential of plant phytochemicals by targeting multiple oncogenic signalling pathways in cervical cancer
• Natural products as EMT modulators used in cervical cancer
• Potential adjuvant therapies of plant products with chemotherapeutic drugs in cervical cancer therapy.
• Plant products nanoformulations as cell signalling modulators in cervical cancer.
Original Research, Reviews, Mini Reviews, and Perspective articles on the abovementioned themes are welcome.
This Research Topic is open for submissions in two sections: Pharmacology of Anti-Cancer Drugs and Ethnopharmacology. When choosing the section that best suits the scope of their manuscripts, authors are invited to consider the following guidelines:
• For the section "Pharmacology of Anti-Cancer Drugs": Valid compounds of natural origin need to refer to biologically active substances derived from natural sources such as plants, marine organisms, and microorganisms.
• For the section "Ethnopharmacology":
-If extracts and other multi-component preparations are being studied, please self-assess your manuscript using the ConPhyMP tool, and follow the standards established in the ConPhyMP statement Front. Pharmacol. 13:953205.
-All manuscripts must fully comply with the Four Pillars of Best Practice in Ethnopharmacology. You can freely download the full version here.
-Importantly, ensure that the ethnopharmacological context is clearly described (pillar 3d) and that the material investigated is characterized in detail (pillars 2 a and b).
Keywords: Natural compounds, cancer, cell signaling pathways, apoptosis, cancer therapy
Important Note: All contributions to this Research Topic must be within the scope of the section and journal to which they are submitted, as defined in their mission statements. Frontiers reserves the right to guide an out-of-scope manuscript to a more suitable section or journal at any stage of peer review.
