Researchers at the Department of Chemistry, Scripps Research, California, have discovered how to harness the toxic power of plankton to manufacture anti-cancer molecules.
Cancer cells are chameleons. They completely change their metabolism to grow continuously. University of Basel scientists have discovered that high levels of the amino acid arginine drive metabolic reprogramming to promote ...
