Novel Wnt and Notch Signaling Natural Inhibitors as Double Edged Sword Against Cancer War: An approach Towards Computer Based Drug Design - Juniper Publishers
Cancer Therapy & Oncology - Juniper Publishers Editorial Cancer is a group of disease characterized by the uncontrolled growth and spread of abnormal cells which may lead to death. According to a report by GLOBOCAN the number of new cancer cases would increase to 19.3 million by 2025 worldwide.
