Despite the availability of various therapeutic approaches, treatment efficacy is often limited by drug resistance and severe side effects. Consequently, there is a growing need for novel and more effective treatment strategies with fewer adverse effects. In recent years, microalgae have emerged as promising sources of bioactive compounds with potential anticancer properties. MCF-7 cells were treated with various concentrations of <i>Tetraselmis suecica</i> extract for 24 h under in vitro conditions. Cell viability was assessed using the 3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-Diphenyltetrazolium Bromide (MTT) assay, while gene expression analysis of apoptosis-related markers (<i>Caspases-3, -8, -9, Bax, Bcl-2, AKT,</i> and <i>PTEN</i>) was evaluated using real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Apoptotic cell death was further evaluated by Annexin V-FITC/PI flow cytometry assay. Treatment with <i>Tetraselmis suecica</i> extract resulted in a dose-dependent inhibition of cell viability, reducing MCF-7 cell survival to 36% at a concentration of 100 mg/mL. The extract significantly upregulated the expression of pro-apoptotic genes (<i>Caspase-3, -8, -9, Bax</i>) and PTEN, while downregulating anti-apoptotic <i>Bcl-2</i> and <i>AKT</i>. Flow cytometric analysis confirmed enhanced apoptosis in treated cells, with early apoptosis increasing from 0.189% to 8.79% and late apoptosis from 0.45 to 6.9%.These findings suggest that <i>Tetraselmis suecica</i> exerts significant anticancer effects on MCF-7 breast cancer cells by modulating both intrinsic and extrinsic apoptotic pathways.

This study aims to assess how dietary factors affect the body length and weight of <i>T. molitor</i> larvae. Seven diets were prepared, ranging from pure wheat bran (W) as a control to combinations of barley (A, B), chickpea (C, D), and corn (E, F) brans. The type of food significantly influenced the larval and adult insect weight and length. Larvae fed diet W (122.99 mg) and diet D (114.99 mg) showed the highest and lowest weight, respectively. Insects fed with diet W showed the longest length (1.30 cm), while those fed with diet C had the shortest length (1.21 cm). Focusing on the fourth larval stage onwards resulted in low mortality rates. However, diets C (97.7% survival) and B (98.8% survival) exhibited the lowest survival rates. Larval pupation rates differed significantly, with 43.3% of larvae on a 100% wheat bran diet pupating by the 13th instar, compared to 32.9% on a 50% corn bran diet by the 15th instar.
