Researchers attack tumor cells by exploiting dependency on sugar metabolism
Although scientists have known for nearly 90 years that cancer cells commonly display altered sugar metabolism, the molecular significance of this phenomenon is not completely understood. Now, a new study published in the June issue of Cancer Cell reveals a functional connection between carbohydrate-driven energy production and tumor maintenance. Importantly, the results suggest that inhibition o...Exploiting the Life Science Data Explosion to Speed New Drug Discovery
This paper discusses key problems and opportunities created by the explosion in both the degree (volume) and complexity of life science data available today, and presents a strategic and technological approach to data integration that enables r...Wardrivers now exploiting your wireless service with ease
CHICAGO Lots of wireless Internet routers at homes and businesses are still as secure as the Titanic was unsinkable, writes adjunct Northwestern professor James Carlini in an update about hackers who are targeting and exploiting your wireless service with more ease than ever before. is an old hacking term used to describe dialing down a sequence of many phone numbers...Stop Exploiting Children !
