Abstract:The primary purpose of our experiments was to determine if resveratrol, a polyphenolic compound found in different fruits, most notably the skins of red grapes, could enhance the killing of tumor cells treated with radiation.

Combination of both treatments exhibited additive effects on the amount of killing of these cells. To determine… Show more
