Marine Cyanobacteria and Microalgae Metabolites—A Rich Source of Potential Anticancer Drugs
Cancer is at present one of the utmost deadly diseases worldwide. Past efforts in cancer research have focused on natural medicinal products. Over the past decades, a great deal of initiatives was invested towards isolating and identifying new marine metabolites via pharmaceutical companies, and res...
