Histamine H1 receptor antagonists selectively kill cisplatin-resistant human cancer cells
Abstract Cancer therapy is often hampered by the disease’s development of resistance to anticancer drugs. We previously showed that the autonomously upregulated product of fibroblast growth factor 13 gene (FGF13; also known as FGF homologous factor 2 (FHF2)) is responsible for the cisplatin resistan...
