Stressed-out cancers may provide drug target

Cancer cells may be particularly susceptible to metabolic stress – opening the way for new targeted therapy that won’t harm normal cells, researchers report. The researchers showed that chromosomal instability -- which is a hallmark of rapidly dividing cancer cells -- makes them stressed and vulnerable to mild metabolic disruption. Metabolism is the normal process by which the body turns food into energy.
