A cancer-promoting protein's pathway into the cell nucleus has been tracked by researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. The team has discovered that the protein fires up a glucose metabolism pathway inside the nucleus on which brain tumors thrive. They also found a vital spot along the protein's journey that can be attacked with a type of drug not yet deployed against glioblastoma multiforme, the most common and lethal form of brain cancer. ...Tuesday, 27 November 2012
Research Says Metabolic Protein Triggers Glucose Pathway That Nurtures Brain Tumors
A cancer-promoting protein's pathway into the cell nucleus has been tracked by researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. The team has discovered that the protein fires up a glucose metabolism pathway inside the nucleus on which brain tumors thrive. They also found a vital spot along the protein's journey that can be attacked with a type of drug not yet deployed against glioblastoma multiforme, the most common and lethal form of brain cancer. ...
