Cytotoxicity and Apoptotic Effect of Nisin as an Effective Bacteriocin on the Cancer Cells

Different therapeutic approaches, comprising surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy are used for cancer treatment. There is an extreme need for novel anti-cancer agents with minimal toxicity for normal cells that are significantly growing. Nowadays, bacteriocins or antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are co...
