Pterostilbene promotes mitochondrial apoptosis and inhibits proliferation in glioma cells

Abstract Glioma is the most general primary and lethal intracranial malignant tumor. Pterostilbene (PTE), an analog of stilbene and resveratrol, has attracted attention in recent years due to its significant antitumor activity in multiple solid tumors; however, its effect on drug-resistant glioma ce...
