Researchers have identified a method that restricts the ability of cancer cells to consume glucose, a key source of energy. Malignant cells consume exorbitant amounts of glucose, and shutting down this process has long been a goal of scientists. But until now, there have been no good pharmacological methods to stop cancers’ ability to uptake… Continue reading Cancer Cells and Glucose

White Blood Cells Can Help Prevent Cancer
Belgian researchers have discovered that a type of white blood cell can be “fine-tuned” to help prevent the spread of cancer. The team of scientists at VIB and KU Leuven, led by professor Massimiliano Mazzone, demonstrated that the metabolism of macrophages, a particular type of white blood cell, can be attuned to prevent the spread… Continue reading White Blood Cells Can Help Prevent Cancer
