Scientists have uncovered the molecular pathways involved in the inhibition of protein synthesis in cells by aspirin, a discovery that may have implications for the treatment of cancer.

The mechanism behind aspirin's anti-cancer effect. Aspirin works by inhibiting the production of thromboxane A2 (TXA2), a molecule produced by blood platelets.

Aspirin was thus unable to prevent migration, invasion, and metastasis in miR-34-deficient cancer cells. It was already known that the miR-34 genes are induced by the transcription factor p53 and ...

Mechanism Behind Aspirin’s Protective Effect Against Colorectal Cancer Identified Aspirin can reduce colorectal cancer risk and inhibit cancer progression. A new study has shown how. News . Published: ...

The best-characterized mechanism of action of aspirin occurs through permanent inactivation of the cyclooxygenase (COX) activity of prostaglandin H (PGH) synthase 1 and synthase 2, also referred ...
