Publication date: January 2020Source: Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Reviews on Cancer, Volume 1873, Issue 1Author(s): D. Farhat, H. LincetAbstractWe discuss how lipoic acid (LA), a natural antioxidant, induces apoptosis and inhibits proliferation, EMT, metastasis and stemness of cancer cells.
