Cancer Cells In Mice Starved By Selectively Inhibiting PKM2
Jan 24, 2012
Crippling a protein that allows cancer cells to grow when oxygen is scarce causes tumors to regress, according to a study published online in the Journal of Experimental Medicine. An enzyme called PKM2 (M2 isoform of pyruvate kinase) is ramped up in cancer cells, allowing them to generate energy in the harsh, low-oxygen environment found within tumors... Read More
