Cisatracurium besilate enhances the TRAIL-induced apoptosis of gastric cancer cells via p53 signaling

Cisatracurium besilate is the most commonly used non-depolarizing muscle relaxant in general anesthesia and in intensive care units. Studies have indicated that the proliferation of gastric cancer (GC) cells can be restrained by cisatracurium besilate. The present study aimed to investigate the mech...
