Key Finding

This prostate cancer study examined pterostilbene in quiescent and awakening tumour-cell states. The authors report that pterostilbene promoted apoptosis in awakening quiescent cells through a C/EBP-β-mediated SOD2 transcriptional mechanism, supporting a potential strategy to target treatment-resistant cell states.

Countstar Connection

Counted trypan-blue viable prostate cancer cells in a cell-viability assay.
