Therapeutic Strategies for Targeting Tumor Metabolism

Relying on the technology platform of the tumor microenvironment center, Alfa Cytology offers a full range of solutions and services or strategies for investigating therapeutic strategies that for target tumor metabolism, helping researchers successfully achieve their research goals.

Introduction

During tumorigenesis, the entire metabolic network is reprogrammed under the dominance of proto-oncogenes and oncogenes and further shaped by the tumor microenvironment (TME). In turn, the flow and flux of nutrients through the tumor cell metabolic network is redefined to meet the material and energy requirements of tumor growth. This process, known as tumor cell metabolic reprogramming, facilitates biomolecule synthesis and achieves rapid and massive tumor cell proliferation. In recent years, antitumor therapies targeting tumor metabolism have received increasing attention from researchers, primarily to carry out an understanding of tumor metabolism and how to guide therapies that target the metabolic needs of tumor cells.

Solutions

Does the plasticity of metabolic pathways allow tumours to rapidly switch adaptive mechanisms in the face of stress? How do tumor cells reprogramme their metabolism and that of other cells in the tumor microenvironment? How do they drive disease progression? These are among the questions that need to be addressed. Alfa Cytology has established an innovative tumor microenvironment center technology platform and is developing several technologies designed to help global collaborators develop therapeutic strategies that target tumor metabolism. Not only for the treatment of tumors, but also to provide guiding knowledge for their prevention and care.
