SRVF, A NOVEL HERBAL FORMULA INCLUDING SCROPHULARIAE RADIX AND VITICIS FRUCTUS, DISRUPTS FOCAL ADHESION AND CAUSES DETACHMENT-INDUCED APOPTOSIS IN MALIGNANT CANCER CELLS

SRVF, a novel herbal formula including Scrophulariae Radix and Viticis Fructus, disrupts focal adhesion and causes detachment-induced apoptosis in malignant cancer cells

Abstract When cells lose adhesion, they undergo detachment-induced apoptosis, known as anoikis.In contrast, tumor cells acquire resistance to anoikis, enabling them to survive, even after separating from neighboring cells or the ECM.Therefore, agents that restore anoikis sensitivity may serve as anti-cancer candidates.In this study, we constructed

Revealing the larval anatomy of the hoverfly Sphaerophoria rueppellii (Wiedemann, 1820) (Diptera, Syrphidae) using micro-computed tomography

Abstract Micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) is an X-ray-based technique that allows visualisation of the internal anatomy of insects in situ and does not require dissections.Traditionally, the study of insect anatomy has been mainly based on dissection techniques and microtome sections.However, micro-CT is becoming an increasingly widespread stud
