Danazol mediates collateral sensitivity via STAT3/Myc related pathway in multidrug-resistant cancer cells
Abstract Multidrug resistance presents an obstacle in cancer treatment. Among numerous combative strategies, collateral sensitivity (CS) drugs have opened a new avenue to defeat cancer by exploiting selective toxicity against multidrug-resistant (MDR) cancer. In the present study, a clinically used...
