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
