## Abstract The insulin like growth factor (IGF) signaling pathway has been shown to contribute to melanoma progression, but little is known about the role of the IGF binding protein 3 (IGFBP‐3) in melanoma biology. The aim of the present study was to characterize expression, function and regulatio
The mitogenic effects of insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) are regulated by a family of insulin-like growth factor binding proteins (IGFBPs). One member of this family, IGFBP-3, mediates the growth-inhibitory and apoptosis-inducing effects of a number of growth factors and hormones such as transfor
Variability in response to chemotherapy is poorly understood. Paclitaxel-induced apoptosis was assessed in human Hs578T breast cancer cells, using the MTT assay, cell counting, morphological features and flow cytometry. Pre-dosing cells with non-glycosylated insulin-like growth factor binding protei
