Two collaborative cancer research projects supported through the Alpe d’HuZes/KWF Fund

Can a tumor’s own metabolism quietly damage its DNA? And how does obesity reshape the liver environment to control cancer that spreads there? Through the Alpe d’HuZes/KWF Fund, ten new Oncode Institute collaborative research projects will start across the whole Oncode community. The projects bring together researchers from different fields to explore new ideas inContinue reading “Two collaborative cancer research projects supported through the Alpe d’HuZes/KWF Fund”

New role for lactate in regulating cancer stem cell identity

Our latest research is now online! Huge congratulations to our PhD candidate Nguyen Thi Binh Nguyen for spearheading this amazing work! More than 100 years after the discovery of the Warburg effect, we uncover a new role for lactate in shaping tumor development by increasing the population of cancer stem cells through epigenetic regulation ofContinue reading “New role for lactate in regulating cancer stem cell identity”
