A new study shows cancer cells depend on vitamin B7 to use pyruvate as backup fuel, opening new strategies for targeted therapy.
Cancer cells are often described as “glutamine addicted,” relying heavily on this amino acid to fuel growth. But new research reveals how some tumors sidestep this vulnerability.
Fifty years since its discovery, scientists have finally worked out how a molecular machine found in mitochondria, the 'powerhouses' of our cells, allows us to make the fuel we need from sugars, a ...
A research group at the University of Lausanne (Unil) has identified a new mechanism that exposes the vulnerability of tumor cells when they are deprived of vitamin B7. The ability of cells to adapt ...
As we age, the genes in our cells accumulate more mutations. This is one of the contributory factors to age-related diseases and the aging process. However, in a new study published in Science ...
