Scientists have uncovered a sweet twist in the body’s fight against cancer. Glucose, best known as the fuel that powers our ...

Acetyl-CoA is essential to cell function, and research shows that cancer cells can use different nutrients and different paths to produce it.

GSLs help form fat-rich structures on T cell surfaces called lipid rafts, which bring together cell signaling proteins that instruct the T cell to kill cancer cells.

Cancer cells thrive in an environment deprived of oxygen and nutrients, adapting to survive and grow. Unlike normal cells, they rely on a process called aerobic glycolysis, or the Warburg effect ...

Researchers have identified the molecular tools needed to reprogram ordinary cells into specialized immune cells.

An international team led by researchers at Lund University in Sweden has identified the molecular tools needed to reprogram ordinary cells into specialized immune cells.

Without GSLs, these signals are weaker, making T cells less effective at destroying tumors. Both T cells and cancer cells leverage different nutrients to support varying aspects of their function.

This difference creates what researchers call “differential stress resistance,” where healthy cells become more resistant to stress while cancer cells become more vulnerable.

They want to make cancer cells more like normal cells. This could stop their dangerous growth. Unlocking a New Path for Breast Cancer Treatment Breast cancer is a major health concern for women.

Losing the Y chromosome seems to make cancer cells more aggressive in men and the phenomenon might even spread between cells.

The finding that stored fats in cancer cells can cause them to become more aggressive offers a possible explanation for the reported link between obesity and cancer, according to the researchers ...

For cancer- and infection-fighting T cells, glucose offers far more than a simple sugar rush.
