The YouTube video illustrates how cytotoxic T cells identify and eliminate cancer cells within the body. These T cells patrol relentlessly, using poisonous proteins to target and destroy infected or cancerous cells while minimizing harm to healthy tissue. The second source explores the anti-cancer potential of green tea, focusing on its bioactive compounds, particularly epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG). It details how catechins in green tea induce apoptosis, arrest cell cycle progression, inhibit angiogenesis, and modulate signaling pathways in cancer cells. The article also evaluates clinical evidence, noting mixed results and limitations related to bioavailability and potential toxicity. Finally, it suggests future research directions to enhance green tea’s efficacy in cancer prevention and therapy.
