Blood glutamate scavengers increase pro-apoptotic signaling and reduce metastatic melanoma growth in-vivo

Abstract Inhibition of extracellular glutamate (Glu) release decreases proliferation and invasion, induces apoptosis, and inhibits melanoma metastatic abilities. Previous studies have shown that Blood-glutamate scavenging (BGS), a novel treatment approach, has been found to be beneficial in attenuat...
