Phenolic compounds from chaga (Inonotus obliquus) target key proteins that fuel liver tumor growth, blood supply, and cell division. Using advanced simulations, researchers found these natural compounds bind stably to cancer-driving proteins and show strong potential as multi-pathway liver cancer fighters.
