Analysis of the apoptosis rate in (a) MDA-MB-231 and (b) SK-BR-3 cancer cell lines after incubation with different samples. Q1 (necrotic cells), Q2 (late apoptosis), Q2 + Q3 (early apoptosis), and Q4 (alive cells). Treatments of range concentrations (IC50 concentration) of nano- and free drugs were applied to the cells for 48 h. Cell cycle analysis for (c) MDA-MB-231 and (d) SK-BR-3 cancer cell lines after incubation with different samples. S1: letrozole; S2: curcumin; S3: mixture of letrozole and curcumin; S4: NiCoFe2O4@L-Silica@Niosome; S5: NiCoFe2O4@L-Silica@L-Niosome; S6: NiCoFe2O4@L-Silica@C-Niosome. Control: untreated cells.
