      Research Topics, Overview of the research

      • Research Topics

        Breast cancer and leukemia cancer stem cell regulation by cellular metabolism
      • Overview of the research

        We found that the expression patterns of some metabolic enzymes are distinct among the subtypes, and the suppression of the enzyme results in attenuation of cancer cell growth. We hypothesize that certain types of cancer exhibit dependency on the metabolic pathway for progression. By utilizing metabolism biosensor, we analyze the dynamics of the metabolic pathway and cancer malignancy mechanism. This study will help to understand the biology of cancer metabolism and develop a new therapeutic strategy.
