Allicin is known to induce apoptosis and inhibit tumourigenesis in various carcinoma cells. However, the precise mechanism of allicin-induced apoptosis remains unclear in human breast cancer cells. Here we found that ERα−MDA-MB-231 cells were more sensitive to allicin-induced apoptosis as compared w...
