Metabolic Flux Analysis in endothelial cells: a novel approach to define metabolic changes KU Leuven
Tumor development and growth is largely regulated by the formation of a network of blood vessels providing malignant cells nutrients and oxygen. This allows the tumor to grow and eventually triggers metastasis, in which cancer cells migrate to other organs. Blocking blood vessel formation is an important strategy in cancer treatment. So far, researchers have mainly focused on blocking the genetic signals produced by tumor cells, which trigger ...
