South Korean researchers at Ajou University recently used resveratrol, an antioxidant found in plants such as grapes, to create a hydrogel, which can effectively suppress cancer cell growth—a possible cure for breast cancer.

In 2022, Kim Moon-seok, a South Korean professor at the Department of Applied Chemistry and Biotechnology of the Graduate School of Molecular Science and Technology at Ajou University, published a study on this possible cure for breast cancer.
