Chill out! The impact of stress hormones on cancer cells in vitro

Norepinephrine, the neurotransmitter responsible for stress response, is known to increase the life span ofcancer cells in the human body. By administeringnorepinephrine directly to HeLa cells in vitro, we wereable to track the impact that this neurotransmitter hason the proliferation cancer cells. In our study, we foundthat norepinephrine actually had a negative impact onthe proliferation of HeLa cells in vitro, but our resultsare deemed inconclusive due to possible experimentalerrors
