4-Methylumbelliferone administration enhances radiosensitivity of human fibrosarcoma by intercellular communication
Abstract Hyaluronan synthesis inhibitor 4-methylumbelliferone (4-MU) is a candidate of radiosensitizers which enables both anti-tumour and anti-metastasis effects in X-ray therapy. The curative effects under such 4-MU administration have been investigated in vitro; however, the radiosensitizing mech...
