Cancer cells are highly dependent on metabolic pathways to generate energy for diverse oncogenic processes. Investigating how cancer cells reprogram their metabolism to adapt and survive can reveal metabolic liabilities which can be exploited for therapeutic targeting.
Cutting-edge technology allows researchers today to measure glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation in real time, enabling the evaluation of cancer cells’ phenotypic response to metabolic substrates or inhibitors.
This explores the applications of a real-time metabolic analysis platform for cancer research and cell therapeutics development.
This to learn how this technology can be used to:
- Study cancer substrate dependencies in the tumor microenvironment
- Discover metabolic vulnerabilities to inform druggable target identification
- Advance cancer drug development and efficacy
Metabolic reprogramming is a hallmark of cancer, and a critical driver of all other hallmarks.
Exploiting metabolic liabilities for therapeutic targeting.
Cancer is a diverse collection of diseases linked to genetic changes that affect normal cell function, and metabolic reprogramming is emerging as a critical target in therapeutic intervention. Cancer cells are highly dependent on metabolic pathways to generate the necessary energy for many oncogenic processes, including rapid proliferation, survival, invasion, and metastasis, and will reprogram their metabolism to support these processes. Today, researchers use metabolic analysis tools together with other cell-based assays to further their understanding of cancer biology. Investigating the dynamic nature of cellular metabolism and how cancer cells reprogram their metabolism to adapt and survive using functional measurements in real time can reveal metabolic liabilities. These metabolic liabilities can then be exploited for therapeutic targeting.

Le cellule tumorali dipendono fortemente dai percorsi metabolici per generare energia per diversi processi oncogeni. Studiare come le cellule tumorali riprogrammano il loro metabolismo per adattarsi e sopravvivere può rivelare passività metaboliche che possono essere sfruttate per il targeting terapeutico.
La tecnologia all'avanguardia consente ai ricercatori di oggi di misurare la glicolisi e la fosforilazione ossidativa in tempo reale, consentendo la valutazione della risposta fenotipica delle cellule tumorali ai substrati od inibitori metabolici.
Questo esplora le applicazioni di una piattaforma di analisi metabolica in tempo reale per la ricerca sul cancro e lo sviluppo di terapie cellulari.
Questo per scoprire come questa tecnologia può essere utilizzata per:
- Studiare le dipendenze del substrato del cancro nel microambiente tumorale
- Scoprire le vulnerabilità metaboliche per informare l'identificazione del bersaglio farmacologico
- Promuovere lo sviluppo e l'efficacia dei farmaci contro il cancro.
