Features:
5-day diet to mimic fasting without fasting.
FMDs are caloric-restricted plant–based diets containing low proteins, low sugar and high fats which represent a more feasible and safer option to water-only fasting.
Fasting modality                         Approx CRIS
--------------------------------------   ----------
Time-restricted eating (12–16 h)          –3 to –4
Early time-restricted eating (eTRE)        –4
Intermittent fasting (24 h 1–2x/week)     –4
Periodic fasting / FMD                    –4 to –5*
Calorie restriction (chronic)             –3 (risk tradeoffs)

Fasting-Mimicking Diet (FMD; ~5-day low-protein, low-calorie cycle) Cancer vs Normal Cell Effects
Rank Pathway / Axis Cancer Cells Normal Cells Label Primary Interpretation Notes
1 Insulin / IGF-1 signaling ↓ IGF-1 signaling (chronic stress) ↓ IGF-1 with regenerative priming Driver Sustained growth factor suppression Repeated IGF-1 lowering impairs tumor growth programs
2 AMPK → mTOR nutrient sensing ↓ mTOR; ↑ AMPK (growth inhibition) ↓ mTOR; ↑ AMPK (maintenance mode) Driver Prolonged anabolic suppression More sustained but less acute than STF
3 Autophagy / mitophagy ↑ autophagy → loss of tumor robustness ↑ autophagy → rejuvenation Driver Cellular renewal vs destabilization Repeated cycles promote organelle quality control
4 Mitochondrial metabolism ↓ metabolic resilience ↑ mitochondrial fitness Secondary Energy efficiency divergence Normal cells adapt better across cycles
5 Inflammatory signaling (NF-κB / cytokines) ↓ pro-tumor inflammation ↓ systemic inflammation Secondary Anti-inflammatory milieu Inflammation reduction contributes to chemopreventive effects
6 Reactive oxygen species (ROS) ↑ ROS (secondary, context-dependent) ↓ ROS Secondary Metabolism-linked redox shift ROS effects are indirect and less pronounced than STF
7 NRF2 antioxidant response ↔ modest activation ↑ NRF2 (protective) Adaptive Stress adaptation NRF2 supports normal-cell recovery between cycles
8 Cell cycle / regeneration ↓ proliferation ↑ regeneration post-cycle Phenotypic Degrowth vs regeneration FMD uniquely promotes regeneration upon refeeding


RadioS, RadioSensitizer: Click to Expand ⟱
Source:
Type:
A radiosensitizer is an agent that makes cancer cells more sensitive to the damaging effects of radiation therapy. By using a radiosensitizer, clinicians aim to enhance the effectiveness of radiation treatment by either increasing the damage incurred by tumor cells or by interfering with the cancer cells’ repair mechanisms. This can potentially allow for lower doses of radiation, reduced side effects, or improved treatment outcomes.
Pathways that help Radiosensitivity: downregulating HIF-1α, increase SIRT1, Txr

List of Natural Products with radiosensitizing properties:
-Curcumin:modulate NF-κB, STAT3 and has been shown in preclinical studies to enhance the effects of radiation by inhibiting cell survival pathways.
-Resveratrol:
-EGCG:
-Quercetin:
-Genistein:
-Parthenolide:

How radiosensitizers inhibit the thioredoxin (Trx) system in cellular contexts. Notable radiosensitizers, including:
-gold nanoparticles (GNPs),
-gold triethylphosphine cyanide ([Au(SCN) (PEt3)]),
-auranofin, ceria nanoparticles (CONPs),
-curcumin and its derivatives,
-piperlongamide,
-indolequinone derivatives,
-micheliolide,
-motexafin gadolinium, and
-ethane selenide selenidazole derivatives (SeDs)
