Epigallocatechin gallate-β-lactoglobulin nanoparticles improve the antitumor activity of EGCG for inducing cancer cell apoptosis
(−)-Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), the major catechin in green tea, is a potent antioxidant with numerous reported health benefits, such as anti-proliferative and pro-apoptotic effects. We combined thermally modified β-lactoglobulin (β-LG) with EGCG to form stable co-assembled nanoparticles (Eβ-...
