                    In-vivo Model Four to six week old female NOD-SCID mice received sub-cutaneous 17Beta-estradiol pellet (0.72 mg/day), 2 weeks prior to injection of 5 * 106 BT-474 cells resuspended in 4% Matrigel.
                    Experimental
                    Result(s)
Celastrol strongly synergized with ErbB2-targeted therapeutics Lapatinib, producing higher cytotoxicity with substantially lower doses of Celastrol.
