Cancer cells have recently been shown to collaborate to obtain vital nutrients from their environment, a phenomenon that was overlooked.

Scientists say the discovery that cancer cells cooperate to survive could lead to more effective treatments. The post NYU scientists discover cancer cells team up to scavenge for nutrients appeared first on Talker.

Cancer cells work together to source nutrients from their environment—a cooperative process that was previously overlooked by scientists but may be a promising target for treating cancer.

Scientists had previously ignored the cooperative method by which cancer cells obtain nutrients from their surroundings, but it may be a promising target for cancer treatment.
