About this Research Topic
Cell metabolism is a critical area of research, particularly in the context of cancer, where it plays a pivotal role in maintaining cellular functions and influencing disease progression. Impaired cellular metabolism can lead to significant health issues, such as Wilson's Disease, which arises from dysfunctional copper metabolism. Cellular metabolism, including lipid and amino acid metabolism, has been implicated in tumor development and survival by affecting mitochondrial function. Despite these insights, the precise mechanisms by which cellular metabolism influences tumor cell proliferation, metastasis, and drug resistance remain inadequately understood. Recent studies have highlighted the importance of metabolic pathways in cancer, yet there is a pressing need for more comprehensive investigations to unravel these complex interactions. Addressing these gaps could lead to the identification of novel therapeutic targets and strategies to combat drug resistance in cancer treatment.
This Research Topic aims to explore the multifaceted role of cell metabolism in cancer, focusing on tumorigenesis, progression, drug resistance, and prognostic assessment. The objective is to gather innovative research and reviews that delve into the metabolic processes influencing cancer development and treatment outcomes. Key questions include how metabolic pathways contribute to drug resistance and the potential of metabolomics in identifying biomarkers for cancer prognosis. By examining these aspects, the research seeks to enhance our understanding of cellular metabolism's impact on cancer and uncover new avenues for therapeutic intervention.
To gather further insights in the realm of cellular metabolism and its implications in cancer, we welcome articles addressing, but not limited to, the following themes:
- Clinical metabolomics in the context of cancers.
- The effect of cell metabolism on drug resistance of cancers.
- The relationship between gene mutation and cell metabolism.
- The prognostic assessment of patients with cancers by metabolism-related biomarkers.
