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

α-Lipoic acid inhibits human lung cancer cell proliferation through Grb2-mediated EGFR downregulation

The study titled “α-Lipoic acid inhibits human lung cancer cell proliferation through Grb2-mediated EGFR downregulation” (Biochem Biophys Res Commun, 2017, PMID: 28993193) is an in vitro/animal study investigating the effects of α-lipoic acid (α-LA) on non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells. The findings indicate that α-LA suppresses NSCLC cell proliferation
