And it’s sad how the current administration is cutting down funds for important studies like this.

1. This is so freaking interesting. 2. I would never be able to sit and read a paper that explains everything you said but YOU explained it so incredibly clear!

Oh is this why the tracer in a CT & PET/CT scan lights up the cancer!?

As a pre med student wanting to study oncology (and a cancer survivor), this is SO interesting! Thank you so much!

Does that mean that mitochondrial biogenesis would be recommended as a form of cancer prevention or would this just give an abundance of mitochondria to cancerous cells to take? 🤨

How come haematologists don’t use the term metastasis? Like with lymphoma specifically?

What happens to the nerve cell after the cancer metastasis steals its mitochondria?

Wow, I’m genuinely curious as to why Nerve cells specifically. Do they mention that? (I’m a PhD Neuroscientist btw)…why not other cells, like muscle cells which have ALOT of mitochondria? Is it just that they start with nerve cells, due to the nature of how they communicate and the ability to jump from one to the other easily, and they then move on to other cell types orrrr? 😩 Now, I’m nosy, let me go read the paper 🚶🏾‍♀️🚶🏾‍♀️🚶🏾‍♀️. Thanks!!

Sometimes the cancer cells actually fully fuse to neighboring cells too, and take over the machinery to get this energy and campflauge themselves from the natural immune response to cancerous markers.
