New leptin sensitizer identified

urcumin: A new radio-sensitizer of squamous cell arcinoma cells

o URPOSE: Curcumin, a potential chemopreventive gent, was found to inhibit cancer cells in S/G2M hases of the cell cycle, when radiation is more ffective. The purpose of the current study was to nvestigate whether curcumin can sensitize squaous cell carcinoma (SCC) cells to the ionizing ffects of irradiation. ETHODS: Curcumin (3.5 ) was added for 48 ours to an SCC cell line prior to irradiation...
