Targeting ERK induced cell death and p53/ROS-dependent protective autophagy in colorectal cancer
Abstract In recent years, many studies have shown that autophagy plays a vital role in the resistance of tumor chemotherapy. However, the interaction between autophagy and cell death has not yet been clarified. In this study, a new specific ERK inhibitor CC90003 was found to suppress colorectal canc...
