Carnosine inhibits migration and invasion of colorectal cancer cells by disrupting the STAT3 signaling pathway
Laboratory work in colorectal cancer cell lines, not in people. Researchers watched whether treated cells kept their ability to move and invade, then traced the effect back to STAT3, a signalling pathway cancer cells lean on when they spread.
Key takeaway
In cell culture, carnosine reduced cancer cell movement and invasion via STAT3 — an interesting mechanism, and a very long way from any claim about treating cancer in humans.
