Aporphine Alkaloid N-Nornuciferine from Nelumbo nucifera Induces MAPK-Associated Autophagy Under Nutrient Deprivation in Human Pancreatic Cancer Cells
Background: Pancreatic cancer cells adapt to nutrient stress by activating metabolic pathways that facilitate survival and proliferation within the tumor microenvironment, a phenomenon known as austerity. Targeting this resilience presents a strategy for developing chemotherapeutic agents with anti-austere properties....
