Research from Chulalongkorn University Broadens Understanding of Apoptosis (Betaine Induces Apoptosis and Inhibits Invasion in OSCC Cell Lines).

The article from Cancer Weekly discusses research conducted at Chulalongkorn University on the effects of betaine on oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) cells. The study found that betaine suppressed OSCC cell proliferation, induced apoptosis, reduced cell migration, and inhibited invasion. Proteomic analysis revealed changes in protein expression levels in cells treated with betaine. The researchers concluded that betaine shows promise as a potential adjunct for managing OSCC, but further investigations are needed to fully understand its functionality. [Extracted from the article]
