Article Synopsis
- - The epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) gives cancer cells stem-like properties, making them resistant to common chemotherapy, highlighting the need for effective treatments targeting these cells.
- - Research shows that breast cancer cells with EMT characteristics are particularly vulnerable to the natural compound ophiobolin A (OpA), demonstrating the compound's potential to selectively kill these cells.
- - OpA not only enhances sensitivity to chemotherapy but also reduces stem-like tumor behaviors, suggesting it could be a valuable addition to existing cancer treatments, especially for tumors with EMT traits.
