Artesunate induces G2/M cell cycle arrest through autophagy induction in breast cancer cells

This study explores the mechanism by which artesunate induces G2/M cell cycle arrest in breast cancer cells. The findings show that artesunate triggers autophagy, which contributes to the arrest of the cell cycle at the G2/M phase. This process inhibits cancer cell proliferation and may enhance the effectiveness of artesunate
