Cancer progression through the lens of age-induced metabolic reprogramming - Nature Reviews Cancer In this Perspective, Lazure and Gomes argue that metabolic changes that occur as a result of ageing may shape tumour initiation and progression and the development of metastatic disease.

Super excited to share our newest piece out today @natrevcancer.nature.com linking age-induced metabolic reprogramming to cancer development. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
