A study by NYU Langone Health and its Perlmutter Cancer Center uncovered how cancer cells survive in low-glucose environments, which is typical in tumors. Researchers analyzed 3,000 cancer cell genes linked to metabolism and identified those crucial for survival after chemotherapy. By selectively removing genes, they found that many of the key genes involved in survival under low-glucose conditions are also part of the pyrimidine synthesis pathway, which is targeted by many chemotherapies.
