Inducing apoptosis of human colon cancer cells by an IGF-I D domain analogue peptide
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The resistance of tumour cells to apoptosis is a major contributor to the limited effectiveness of chemotherapies. Insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) has potential to protect cancer cells from variety of apoptotic challenges. This...
