Investigating the effect of andrographolide on HMGCR protein expression in MDA-MB-231

Breast cancer is the uncontrolled malignant cellular growth in the tissues of the breast. It is the second most prevalent type of cancer among women in terms of mortality rates and incidents with annual approximation of diagnosed cases exceeds 1.5 million. Triple-Negative Breast Cancer is a subtype...
