Wow, this is fascinating news! It's great to know that researchers are out there exploring these avenues and discovering new ways to fight cancer. I like such informative posts and recently liked an article about the best CBD for relief. Of course, more research will need to be done to fully understand the effects of piceatannol on cancer cells and how it could be used in combination with other treatments.
