Scientists have discovered how breast cancer cells can ‘hibernate’ to avoid treatment and ‘wake up’ years later – causing a relapse that is more difficult to treat. Their research, published in the journal Cancer Discovery , reveals the role of epigenetics in controlling how cancer cells can become dormant – and suggests a strategy to target it before the cells wake up.

Between 2000 and 2020, approximately 30 percent of the newly introduced small molecule drugs were derived from natural products. 1 Surprisingly, however, less than one percent of the natural world’s chemical composition has been identified or studied by scientists. While plant-derived molecules (phytochemicals) have long played an essential role in drug discovery due to their diverse biological activities and chemical properties, the reliance on time-consuming and expensive screening techniques
