Stimulating a key metabolic pathway in T cells can make them work more effectively against tumors when combined with immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy, according to a preclinical study. The findings ...
Solid tumors often provide a challenging environment for the T cells of our immune system. By reprogramming the metabolism of T cells, scientists at the VIB-KU Leuven Center for Cancer Biology and ...
FAS, fatty acid synthase; FATP, fatty acid transporter protein; GPCR, G protein-coupled receptor; LPC, lysophosphatidylcholine; LXR, liver X receptor; PPARγ, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor ...
Researchers have discovered that activating the pentose phosphate pathway makes antitumor CD8+ T cells more likely to stay in an immature, stem-like, “precursor” state. Combining this metabolic ...
Lactate, once considered a metabolic waste product, is now recognized as a key regulator of cellular homeostasis and disease progression. In gynecological malignancies-including ovarian, cervical, and ...
Breast cancer remains the most prevalent malignancy among women worldwide, posing a critical challenge to global health. Amid the complexities of this disease, an emerging focus on metabolic ...
Potent antitumor activity of the KRASG12D inhibitor MRTX1133 in pancreatic cancer: Augmenting the nanoparticle-paclitaxel chemotherapy response. This is an ASCO Meeting Abstract from the 2025 ASCO ...
Plants rely on sugars not only as energy sources but also as regulators of cellular activities. Carbon starvation disrupts central metabolism, impairs growth, and forces cells to recycle stored ...
