Botulinum neurotoxin type C protease induces apoptosis in differentiated human neuroblastoma cells [PDF]
Neuroblastomas constitute a major cause of cancer-related deaths in young children. In recent years, a number of translation-inhibiting enzymes have been evaluated for killing neuroblastoma cells. Here we investigated the potential vulnerability of human
