Abstract:2601
An emerging hallmark of cancer cells is the reprogramming of intermediary and energy metabolism these cells undergo. Several epidemiological studies have shown that metformin, widely used to treat patients with type 2 diabetes, may reduce their risk of cancer. Despite several reports of anti-neoplastic activity of metformin, the mechanisms responsible for this activity have not been fully elucidated in cancer or leukemic cells. We hypothesized that metformin elicits a metabolic reprogrammin… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
