Interesting, a Choice Based Chemical Selection (CBCS) is crucial for tumor microenvironment (TME) to be destructive and deadly.
An analogy is made with Choice Based Credit System (CBCS) in our curriculum/Education system.
If we try to understand Choice Based Chemical Selection (CBCS), tumors have selection and choices of chemicals such as Glucose, various amino acids and many more to be aggressive, adapt for evasion and survive during stress/drug insults etc.,
What is the lesson to learn? Cancer cells have better equipped Choice Based Chemical Selection (CBCS) compared to normal cells that allow them to be destructive in nature.
Cancer cells characteristically consume glucose through Warburg metabolism1, a process that forms the basis of tumour imaging by positron emission tomography (PET). Tumour-infiltrating immune cells also rely on glucose, and impaired immune cell metabolism in the tumour microenvironment (T...
