Insight into tumor cells’ organanization offers hope for new treatment
It’s well known that the engine room of cells, the mitochondria, have a key role in fueling cancer growth. Treatments have targeted these microscopic organelles in many ways, including by blocking their food source to inhibit energy production, knocking them out with a cocktail of drugs and using their output as an early sign of cancer.Mitochondria are back under the microscope, with scientists capturing their networks in two types of lung cancer tumors, showing their distinct structural organization and its relationship…
