Therapeutic Strategies of Plant-derived Compounds for Diabetes Via Regulation of Monocyte Chemoattractant Protein-1.

abstract：:Normal somatic stem cells (SC) are naturally resistant to chemotherapeutic agents due to their expression of various membrane transporter molecules (such as MDR-1), detoxifying enzymes and DNA repair proteins. In addition, they also have a slow rate of cell turnover and therefore escape from chemotherapeutic agents th...
