Scientists discover an “impossible” cellular survival pathway that could help fight cancer
Scientists discovered a surprising backup system that lets mammalian cells make the essential amino acid cysteine even when the pathways once considered indispensable are disabled. The same survival mechanism may help cancer cells resist treatment, raising the possibility that shutting it down could make tumors easier to kill.
A team of researchers has identified a mechanism that allows aggressive types of cancer to survive when they are deprived of their usual source of energy. This discovery could offer a new way to slow down tumor development and improve the effectiveness of existing treatments, announced Wednesday the University of Sheffield, quoted by [...]
