Breast cancer remains the most prevalent malignancy among women worldwide, posing a critical challenge to global health. Amid the complexities of this disease, an emerging focus on metabolic ...

Cancer cells rewire their metabolism to support rapid proliferation, survival under stress and metastatic spread. This reprogramming encompasses a shift from mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation to ...

However,instead of attacking cancer cells, they are typically co-opted to support tumor growth, metastasis, and therapeutic ...

Breast cancer development is not solely the result of cancer cells acting independently, it involves a dynamic and complex ecosystem composed of cancer cells, immune cells, fibroblasts, adipocytes, ...

AbstractNon apoptotic cell death programs particularly ferroptosis and cuproptosis are transforming how we understand cancer ...

Solid tumors often provide a challenging environment for the T cells of our immune system. By reprogramming the metabolism of T cells, scientists at the VIB-KU Leuven Center for Cancer Biology and ...

Scientists have found a way to supercharge the immune system’s T cells by blocking a protein called Ant2, essentially rewiring how these cells generate energy. This metabolic reprogramming makes them ...

Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are immune cells that tumors hijack to fuel their own growth and evade immune attack. A ...

Researchers from National Taiwan University (NTU) and National Taiwan University Hospital (NTUH) have identified a promising ...

Metabolic reprogramming is a defining hallmark of breast cancer, encompassing diverse alterations in energy utilisation, biosynthetic pathways and intracellular signalling. Tumour cells frequently ...

Leuven, 11 March 2025 – Solid tumors often provide a challenging environment for the T cells of our immune system. By reprogramming the metabolism of T cells, scientists at the VIB-KU Leuven Center ...
