Applications of polystyrene
Polystyrene, one of the most extensively used types of plastic [1], is an
-COOH activates the mTOR signaling in leukemia cells. Consistently, PS-NH2 inhibits the activation of the mTOR downstream targets, Akt and p70 ribosomal S6 kinase 1, and blocked proliferation in three leukemiacelllines in vitro and in vivo [41].
Conclusion
In these studies, we have used functionalized
