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 ...
Prostate cancer (PCa) is one of the most common malignant tumors among men worldwide. Following androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), the disease often progresses to castration-resistant prostate cancer ...
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 ...
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 ...
Disease progression after intensive multi modal clinical therapy poses grave concern not only on the quality of life but on the very survival of children presented with neuroblastoma. Acquired ...
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 ...
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 ...
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a multifaceted disorder that impacts approximately 20–25% of the global population. This syndrome encompasses a range of conditions, including obesity, type 2 diabetes ...
