Researchers have discovered a new nutrient source that pancreatic cancer cells use to grow. The molecule, uridine, offers insight into both biochemical processes and possible therapeutic pathways. The findings show that cancer cells can adapt when they don t have access to glucose.
A new nutrition source for pancreatic cancer cells has been discovered by researchers at the University of Michigan Rogel Cancer Centre. Uridine is a substance that provides insight into both biological processes and potential treatment paths.
Major study reveals how pancreatic cancerchanges its ‘diet’ to survive Some cancers can use a molecule known as uridine as emergency fuelNew treatments could exploit this metabolic dependency Researchers now planning further research looking at using uridine to monitor therapy response of existing d.
