Biologists Attempt To Solve a Century-Old Paradox: The Reason Cancer Cells Waste a Lot of Energy – Science Times
MIT research sheds light on the long-lasting question, a century-old paradox of why cancer cells are getting their energy from fermentation.
Massachusetts Institute of Technology research sheds light on the long-lasting question of why cancer cells are getting their energy from fermentation. During the 1920s, Otto Warburg, a chemist, discovered that cancer cells do not metabolize sugar in the same manner that healthy cells typically do.
From that time, scientists have attempted to find out why cancer cells are using this substitute pathway, which is much less effective.
As mentioned, biologists at MIT now discovered a possible answer…
