Metabolic vulnerabilities of metastasizing cancer cells

Metabolic vulnerabilities of metastasizing cancer cells

Abstract Most cancer patients die due to metastasis formation. Therefore, understanding, preventing, and treating metastatic cancers is an unmet need. Recent research indicates that cancer cells that undergo metastasis formation have a distinct metabolism that can be targeted. Here, I would like to...
