breast cancer cells respond to
cancer drugs, and in February 2010 scientists publishing in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences USA developed a microscale replica of the
human liver that allowed them to observe the entire life cycle of hepatitis C, a virus that is difficult to observe in
cultured cells.

cancer drug, paclitaxel.

A tissue
culture study of
human breast -
cancer cells found that epigallocatechin gallate, or EGCG, an active compound in green tea, protects against some forms of
breast cancer by regulating estrogen receptors on
breast cells and inhibiting growth and reproduction of estrogen - dependant
breast -
cancer cells.
