Abstract excerpt
The recurrence of breast cancer is associated with drug-resistance of cancer stem cells (CSCs), while overexpression of cell membrane ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters and resistance of mitochondrial apoptosis-related proteins are responsible for the drug-resistance of CSCs. The targeting berberine liposomes were developed to modulate the resistant membrane and mitochondrial proteins of breast CSCs for the...
