Science Buddies: "Ask an Expert"

How could I study the anti-cancer and anti-bacterial effects of hibiscus plants or white-fleshed pitahaya?

There is a simple project: (https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science- ... s-bacteria)
as well as kit for testing just about any compound's effect on bacterial growth right here on ScienceBuddies! Just replace the treatment groups in the project with your own.

thank you so much! do you have any ideas on how I could possibly test any anti-cancerous effectse

Hello!
I found a paper online that discusses how to measure the anti-cancer activity in medicinal plants (link: https://www.researchgate.net/publicatio ... r_Activity). It includes a Methods and Materials section that discusses how they performed the experiment. I also found a forum (link: https://www.researchgate.net/post/Does_ ... compounds2) that explains several methods for finding anti-cancer activity. Hope this helps!

what would be the materials needs to make a cell culture and cell line for cancer? it’s for a science fair project and im really confused
