What Is the Impact of Metabolism Research on Cancer?
Understanding cancer cell metabolism is opening new avenues for treatment. Cancer cells have unique metabolic needs, and recent research has identified metabolic pathways that can be targeted to disrupt cancer growth. For instance, drugs that inhibit glycolysis, a process heavily relied upon by cancer cells for energy, are showing promise in preclinical studies. Additionally, metabolic profiling can help identify biomarkers for early detection and treatment response.
