In recent years, researchers gradually regard mitophagy as the target for cancer treatment, although the role of mitophagy in the developmental and metabolic process of cancer is still not clear. In this…

    Cancerous cells take advantage of existing cell structures such as microtubules, to divide and multiply. Microtubules aid the cells in dividing and creating a similar cell. Potent anti-microtubule agents work by blocking the microtubules from performing their usual functions. When this happens, the cells are incapable of dividing and creating similar cells, and ultimately die. These anti-microtubule agents can’t differentiate between normal cells and the cancerous cells, and act on normal cells…

    • 2 Pages

    Hypoxia is a crucial feature of locally advanced solid tumors resulting from a poor oxygen supply delivery owing to excessive cellular proliferation and abnormal vascular architecture. Under these circumstances, cancer cells develop a series of responses in order to adapt to hypoxic conditions. The tumor suppressor p53 has been shown to mediate the cellular response to hypoxia depending on many contexts including cell type, duration and severity of hypoxic exposure. The sphingolipid ceramide,…
