A new reason for why acute myeloid leukemia, one of the most aggressive cancers, is so difficult to cure: a subset of cells that drive the disease appear to have a much slower metabolism than most other tumors cells was proposed by University of Rochester Medical Center scientists. The slower metabolism protects leukemia cells in many important ways and allows them to survive better - but the team also found an experimental drug tailored to this unique metabolic ...Wednesday, 23 January 2013
New Insights on Leukemia Yielded By Study on Cancer Cell Metabolism
A new reason for why acute myeloid leukemia, one of the most aggressive cancers, is so difficult to cure: a subset of cells that drive the disease appear to have a much slower metabolism than most other tumors cells was proposed by University of Rochester Medical Center scientists. The slower metabolism protects leukemia cells in many important ways and allows them to survive better - but the team also found an experimental drug tailored to this unique metabolic ...
