Induction of apoptosis by hybrid liposomes for human breast tumor cells along with activation of caspases

Biol Pharm Bull. 2006 Feb;29(2):380-1. doi: 10.1248/bpb.29.380.

Abstract

Highly inhibitory effects of hybrid liposomes on the growth of human breast tumor cells in vitro were obtained. It is worthy to note that induction of apoptosis through activation of caspases by hybrid liposomes was clearly observed.
