A new study identifies the molecular pathway that enables cancer cells to grow in areas of a tumor where oxygen levels are low, a condition called hypoxia.The findings by researchers at The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center - Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute (OSUCCC - James), might offer a new strategy for inhibiting tumor growth by developing agents that reverse this hypoxia-related pathway.The study focuses on how cancer cells use the amino acid glutamine, the most common amino acid found free in the bloodstream.
