Inhibitory Effects of Trehalose on Malignant Melanoma Cell Growth: Implications for a Novel Topical Anticancer Agent on the Ocular Surface

Figure 1

Light microscopic appearances of cultured melanoma cells with or without trehalose (original magnification: ×100). Pictures on the left side present melanoma cells cultured for 3 days, while the right side shows cells cultured for 10 days. Concentrations of trehalose are shown on the lower left corner of each picture. Results show that trehalose inhibited melanoma cell cultures in a dose dependent manner.
