ITHACA, New York, March 5 -- Cornell University issued the following news:
Blocking the formation of filaments - multi-enzyme structures that fuel cancer activity - may offer new ways to control cancer cell proliferation, according to a new study led by Cornell researchers.
Glutaminases, the enzymes that form these filaments, help transform glutamine into glutamate, which triggers a longer series of reactions that produce energy for cancer cells' growth.
