The brain formed part of the central nervous system is the most complex organ made up of more than billions of nerve cells or neurons.
The functions of the brain are associated with the communication of trillions of connections called synapses and many specialized regions.
A neuron or nerve cell made of a cell body (also called soma), dendrites and an axon, is a cell in the nervous system that carries electrical impulses.
Neurons are core components of the brain, spinal cord and peripheral nerves that play an essential role in processing and transmitting the information.
Neuroblastoma is cancer developed by the immature nerve cells found in several areas of the body, mostly in and around the adrenal glands.
Cancer most commonly affects children age 5 or younger compared to less often in older children.
According to the statistics provided by the Cancer Net, approximately 800 children are diagnosed with neuroblastoma in the United States.
And 90% of children affected by neuroblastoma are younger than 5.
Sadly, the the-5-year survival rate of cancer is less than 50%.
Most common symptoms are totally depending on the area that has been effected
* Neuroblastoma in the abdomen can induce symptoms of pains, a mass under the skin that isn't tender when touched and changes in bowel habits, such as diarrhea or constipation.
* Neuroblastoma in the chest may cause symptoms including wheezing, chest pain and changes to the eyes, including drooping eyelids and unequal pupil size
Some patients with neuroblastoma may also experience symptoms of back pain, fever, unexplained weight loss, and bone pain.
On finding a natural ingredient for the prevention and treatment of brain cancer, scientists examined the effects of Angelica polymorpha Maxim root extract (APRE) cytotoxicity on neuroblastoma cells (NB).
Angelica or Dang Qui is a herb of Genus Angelica from the family Apiaceae, indigenous to China.
The herb has been used as a Queen herb in traditional Chinese medicine antispasmodic and vasodilatory agent, and to balance the hormones in women for a normal menstrual cycle and menstruation and strengthen heart, spleen, kidneys, and liver for both men and women, etc. In other words, it is used to treat gynecological ailments, fatigue, mild anemia, and high blood pressure. It has analgesic, anti-inflammatory, etc.

* APRE reduced cell viability in NB to a greater extent than in fibroblast cells.
* APRE could inhibit proteins and down-regulated pathways associated with cancer cell proliferation and survival.
* Furthermore, APRE promoted pro-apoptotic protein and inhibited the expression of proteins associated with anti-apoptosis.
* Moreover, APRE depolarized the mitochondria membrane potential and activation of caspase-3 associated with the cell death in the SH-SY5Y cells.
Additional differentiation, researchers said, "APRE, the intrinsic pathway was solely responsible for inducing apoptosis as we also showed that the non-caspase autophagy pathway or ER stress-ROS mediated pathways were not involved".

Taken altogether, herbal angelica may be considered a remedy for the treatment of neuroblastoma, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
