Cancer Metabolism

Cancer metabolism explores how cancer cells rewire their energy and nutrient utilization to sustain rapid growth and survival. Unlike normal cells, cancer cells exhibit altered metabolic pathways, favoring glycolysis even in the presence of oxygen (the Warburg effect) and promoting increased nutrient uptake. These adaptations enable cancer cells to generate energy and biosynthetic precursors for DNA and protein synthesis. Understanding cancer metabolism is critical for developing targeted therapies that disrupt these unique metabolic dependencies. Research in this field aims to uncover vulnerabilities in cancer cells' metabolic processes, offering promising avenues for treatment and personalized medicine approaches in the fight against cancer.
