Brief Summary

The primary objective is to describe and discover new insights into the glucose, amino acid, and lipid metabolic dependencies of TNBC via nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy analysis of in v...

Detailed Description

One of the recognized hallmarks of cancer cells is deregulated cellular metabolism, characterized by enhanced metabolic autonomy compare with non-transformed cells. Tumor cells typically display an ov...
