Scientists Use Modelling to Show the Role of Metabolism and Signaling in Cancer Metastasis

Caption

Researchers have built a model to investigate the metastasis of cancer by examining the metabolism of breast epithelial cells and look at the role of signaling. This research, published in PLOS Computational Biology, may contribute to the development of cell specific anti-cancer interventions.
