Cytotoxicity and mechanisms of cell death of selected marine sponges on human breast cancer cell line, MCF-7

Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancers among women worldwide. However, to date, research is still ongoing to find alternative drugs to the current chemotherapeutic drugs available in the market. Marine environment offers vast diversity of living organisms that provide compounds with...
