Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Metabolic reprogramming is one of the main hallmarks of cancer. Numerous studies have shown that the metabolic phenotype of cells within tumors is heterogeneous and distinct from their normal counterparts. Furthermore, altered metabolism has been recognized as one of the major mechanisms of resistance to current therapies. Thus, targeting the metabolic differences between tumor and normal cells holds promise as a novel anticancer strategy.
The purpose of this Special Issue is to discuss the latest research of the metabolic reprogramming of cancer cells, particularly focusing on metabolic vulnerabilities that might be future therapeutical targets. This Special Issue welcomes original research articles, as well as reviews.
