Other groups who started treatment before induction of proteins that reduce early signs of cancer , early onset or progression is obvious , and it is more than .Amr Amin, who had led the investigation , said: ” Our findings show that with the help of saffron regulate apoptosis or cell death , preventing the proliferation of cells and the irregular role of anti-inflammatory effects , anti-cancer plays “.
