Scientists at New York University have found that cancer cells work together to source nutrients from their environment—a cooperative process that was previously overlooked by researchers. The team’s ...

Every cell depends on proteins to function and stay healthy. These proteins are made inside the cell from amino acids, but ...

The immune system relies on specialized “effector” T cells to fight off pathogens. However, in chronic infections such as cancer or HIV, the perpetual activation of these cells can turn them into ...

Cancer cells work together to source nutrients from their environment -- a cooperative process that was previously overlooked by scientists but may be a promising target for treating cancer. Cancer ...

Scientists have discovered that our specialized immune cells, called T cells, are what they eat -- their switch from functional to 'exhausted' depends on the switch from metabolizing acetate to ...

Cancer cells team up to scavenge for nutrients, reveals new research. The discovery that cancer cells cooperate to survive could lead to more effective treatments for the deadly disease, say American ...

Cancer thrives by stealing nutrients. Tumors grow fast because they hijack the body’s resources—especially glucose and fatty acids. But a new study shows there's a way to beat cancer at its own game.

Staying active and healthy as we age isn’t just about exercise—it’s also about feeding your cells the right nutrients. Experts say certain snacks can help slow cellular aging, support brain health, ...
