Beer has been known for its health benefits, but it's the beer hops, the flowers that add bitterness to beer, that are packed with anticancer properties.
Researchers have been working on harnessing the anticancer and anti-inflammatory properties of beer hops, and soon may be able to synthesize these compounds straight from the laboratory instead of extracting from plants.
"It's been a lot of trial and error," says Sass, who is an undergraduate student from the University of Idaho assisting Kristopher Waynant in the research. "But it's so exciting when an approach finally works."
