TAXOL INDUCES CELL DEATH WITH CYTOPLASM VACUOLIZATION IN PARAPTOSIS-LIKE BUT NOT ONCOSIS FASHION IN ASTC-a-1 CELLS [PDF]
Recently, we found that high concentration of taxol (70 μM) induced cell death with cytoplasm vacuolization, the typical characteristic of both paraptosis and oncosis, in human lung carcinoma (ASTC-a-1) cells.
