- Abstract:
- Competition for glucose regulates the balance between cancer and immune responses. New findings published in Nature show that regulatory T cells (T-reg) shape their metabolism to avoid glucose competition, thus maintaining their stability and sustaining tumor progression. This research suggests hijacking the "eating habits'' of T-reg could improve cancer therapy.
