Cancer: Inhibiting cell metabolism to enhance tumour cell death

University of Leeds Faculty of Medicine and Health

All the cells in our bodies are programmed to die. As they get older, our cells accumulate toxic molecules that make them sick. In response, they eventually break down and die, clearing the way for new, healthy cells to grow. Read more
