Liver Cancer Cells Stop Making Glucose As They Become Cancerous; Findings May Lead To New Treatment
Jul 31, 2012
As liver cancer develops, tumor cells lose the ability to produce and release glucose into the bloodstream, a key function of healthy liver cells for maintaining needed blood-sugar levels. The findings come from a study by scientists at The Ohio State Comprehensive Cancer Center - Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute (OSUCCC - James)... Read More
