    2010 CVM News: Molecule effectively starves cancer cells
    Office of Communications (Cornell University, College of Veterinary Medicine, 2010-09-13)
    This news item is about: Overcoming an addiction is most often the healthy choice. But for cancer cells, their addiction to glutamine is life-giving. Turbo-charged engines capable of metastasizing in even the most difficult of conditions, cancer cells find their strength in glutamine, an amino acid important to protein metabolism and a key nutrient for the growth of cancer cells. Researchers have long believed that starvation – breaking the glutamine addiction – may be an effective strategy in the fight against some cancers, but for decades have struggled with how to accomplish this feat.

    Office of Communications (Cornell University, College of Veterinary Medicine, 2010-10-25)
