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.
Cells have their own emergency system that helps them survive severe stress and damage. Scientists have now discovered how one of its key components works. This mechanism may be particularly important for cancers, helping them survive conditions designed to destroy them.
Researchers have discovered an unknown cellular reserve system that could increase the effectiveness of anti-cancer therapies.
