Scientists identify protein that's crucial to tumor cells' metabolism
Updated : 3 years ago IST
Tumor cells typically alter their energy metabolism and increase glucose uptake to support their rapid division and spread. This limits glucose availability for immune cells and therefore dampens the body's anti-cancer immune response.

Age-related fat may lead to less effective muscle function: Research
Updated : 3 years, 1 month ago IST
A recent study published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism links age-related abdominal fat increase to decreased muscle density. Low muscle density means that the muscle is fattier, which may result in less effective athletic activity and, as a result, more falls.
