… Flow cytometry was performed on propidium iodidestained nuclei as described in Strobl
et al. (1990) using a Becton Dickinson FACScan and the CellFIT software (Becton Dickinson, …

The purpose of this study was to determine if potassium channel activity is required for the
proliferation of MCF‐7 human mammary carcinoma cells. We examined the sensitivities of …

The purpose of this work is to develop agents for cancer differentiation therapy. We showed
that five antiproliferative quinoline compounds in the National Cancer Institute database …

Studying the cytoskeletal organization as cells interact in their local microenvironment is
interest of biological science, tissue engineering and cancer diagnosis applications. Herein, we …

Recently, there has been an increasing interest in using the biomechanical properties of
cells as biomarkers to discriminate between normal and cancerous cells. However, few …

Permanent cell culture lines derived from human breast cancer tissue are important
experimental models in the study of human breast cancer cell proliferation. In the present work, …

… of L-type voltage-dependent calcium channels, nor verapamil (3 uM), a less specific antagonist
of L-type calcium channels, affect MCF-7 cell proliferation or cell cycle kinetics (Strobl, …
