A fresh method to tackle skin cancer resistance

Tackling multiple energy pathways.

UCLA scientists discovered that squamous cell skin cancer resists treatment by adapting its metabolism, switching from glucose to glutamine for energy. This finding challenges the belief that cancer relies solely on glucose. Led by William Lowry, the team showed that blocking both glucose and glutamine pathways stops cancer growth.
