Introduction: Externally added survival/growth factors are essential for the survival of healthy cells, however cancer cells are believed to be self-sufficient in supporting their auto-proliferation without the need of...
Introduction: It is well documented in the literature that Bitter Melon Extract (BME) inhibits the growth and proliferation of MCF-7 breast cancer cells. While the exact mechanism of this inhibition is unknown, it is possible...
Cancer cells have shown to exhibit enhanced potential to metastasize via increased actin-myosin crossbridge formation, which requires increased Ca2+ influx via the voltage-gated calcium channels. This then leads to the...
Introduction: Bitter melon extract (BME) is known to inhibit breast cancer cells (MCF-7) proliferation. The PKC and ROK play critical roles in cell division, migration, and survival. However, the roles of protein kinase-c (PKC)...
