Flavonoids have been regarded as nutritionally good compounds. Lot of research is being done in this direction.// Apigenin, a flavonoid found in herbs, fruits, and vegetables, slowed the growth of prostate cancer in mice, according to a new study. Previous studies already found flavonoids (fo...Nanoparticle-delivered 'Suicide' Genes Slowed Ovarian Tumor Growth
