“Drug-Free” chitosan nanoparticles as therapeutic for cancer treatment
Chitosan is cancer cytotoxic. It induces apoptosis/necrosis/autophagy and immuno-responses, and mitigates angiogenic and metastasis tendency of cancer cells. The lower molecular weight chitosan induces apoptosis, whereas the higher molecular weight chitosan exerts apoptosis and necrosis. Transformin...
