Alpha lipoic acid inhibits proliferation and epithelial mesenchymal transition of thyroid cancer cells
This in vitro study investigated the effects of alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) on thyroid cancer cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. Using four human thyroid cancer cell lines (BCPAP, HTH-83, CAL-62, and FTC-133), researchers found that ALA significantly suppressed cancer cell proliferation by activating the AMPK pathway, leading to the downregulation of
