Cutting off Cancer's Food Supply
How can cancer medicine take advantage of cancer's peculiar eating habits? This video traces the work of the KI's Vander Heiden lab to understand why cancer burns sugar differently from other human cells, and how this could lead to better cancer therapies. The video currently appears in the interactive exhibits of the KI Public Galleries.
