Therapeutic potential of albumin nanoparticles encapsulated visnagin in MDA-MB-468 triple-negative breast cancer cells

Breast cancer is among the most recurrent malignancies, and its prevalence is rising. With only a few treatment options available, there is an immediate need to search for better alternatives. In this regard, nanotechnology has been applied to develop potential chemotherapeutic techniques, particula...
