May 26, 2017
In a new study, scientists at The University of Texas at Dallas have found that some types of cancers have more of a sweet tooth than others.
"It has been suspected that many cancer cells are heavily dependent on sugar as their energy supply, but it turns out that one specific type -; squamous cell carcinoma -; is remarkably more dependent," said Dr. Jung-whan "Jay" Kim, assistant professor of biological sciences and senior author of the study published May 26 in the online journal Nature Communications.
