Abstract excerpt
The rationale behind the evaluation of natural differentiating agents, such as nerve growth factor (NGF), for reverse transforming potential is based on the theory that such compounds may represent a nontoxic means of controlling tumor growth. Previous in vitro experiments have shown that NGF is...
