How Carfilnat 60mg Carfilzomib Injection Works: A Closer Look

Proteasomes are essential components within cells responsible for breaking down and recycling proteins. In cancer, there may be abnormal cell growth due to the unchecked multiplication of cells. Proteasome inhibitors like Carfilzomib work by interfering with the normal breakdown of proteins within cancer cells, leading to the accumulation of unwanted proteins and ultimately triggering programmed cell death (apoptosis)
