Abstract

Misti Tsai

This study explores the therapeutic potential of Glycyrrhizae preparata, a natural herbal extract derived from the root of G. glabra (licorice), in the context of Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM). The investigation focuses on the ability of G. preparata to induce cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in GBM cells, offering insights into its molecular mechanisms and potential implications for GBM treatment. Through a combination of in vitro experiments and molecular analyses, this study seeks to elucidate the specific pathways targeted by G. preparata, providing a foundation for its integration into the evolving landscape of GBM therapeutics.
