Starving Glioblastoma: Why Brain Tumor Stem Cells Run on Fat
15:13
Glioblastoma is an aggressive brain cancer that almost inevitably returns after surgery due to resilient cancer stem cells. While most tumors gorge on sugar to grow, recent research reveals that glioblastoma stem cells actually fuel themselves by burning fats. This unexpected metabolic shift suggests that targeting fatty acid oxidation could starve the cancer and prevent it from growing back.…
