Anti-proliferative and Apoptosis Inducing Effect of Thymoquinone in Human Teratocarcinomal (NTERA-2) Cancer Stem-Like Cells

Rajitha Kalum Rathnayaka, Fathima T. Muhinudeen, Nirwani Natasha Seneviratne…·Sameera R. Samarakoon

This study evaluates thymoquinone's anti-proliferative and pro-apoptotic effects on NTERA-2 cancer stem-like cells and PBMCs, showing dose- and time-dependent inhibition of proliferation and increased apoptosis.
