The research project has the aim to evaluate in vitro the possible anticancer effect of two different kind of honey (Manuka and Strawberry tree honeys) in a 3D model of colon cancer cells. There should be evaluated markers of cytotoxicity, apoptosis, cell proliferation, cell migration and of cell metabolism; further studies will regards the role played by oxidative stress with special focus on the molecular mechanisms involved.
