Artemisinin inhibition of uveal melanoma (WP5441)

Homo sapiens

Farhan et al. (2021) note: "By acting in PI3K/AKT/mTOR, a pathway with recognized importance in cancer, artemisinin was shown to be able to impair the migration, invasion, and proliferation of UM cells." Triangles indicate an increase or decrease in the adjacent entity. This pathway diagram was derived from https://pfocr.wikipathways.org/figures/PMC8684509__OMCL2021-9911537.012.html.
