Sodium Ascorbate induces apoptosis in neuroblastoma cell lines by interfering with iron uptake
1 Jan 2007
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Neuroblastoma (NB) is an extra-cranial solid tumour of childhood. In spite of the good clinical response to first-line therapy, complete eradication of NB cells is rarely achieved. Thus, new therapeutic strategies are needed to eradicate surviving NB cells and prevent relapse.
