Kumquat essential oil decreases proliferation and activates JNK signaling and apoptosis in HT-1080 fibrosarcoma cells

Kumquats are small citrus fruits produced by the Fortunella japonica tree. In addition to its aroma, kumquat essential oil may have antiproliferative effects; however, research on the effects of kumquat essential oil on human cell lines is limited. This study investigated the effects of kumquat essential oil on the proliferation of three human cell lines (HT-1080 fibrosarcoma cells, HeLa cervical adenocarcinoma cells, and CUA-4 normal human...
