You never know where you might find a new discovery in the fight against cancer.
A University of Guelph research team, led by Dr. Paul Spagnuolo from the Department of Food Science, has uncovered a plant-based solution to target leukemia weakness.
They discovered that leukemia cells are far less flexible and rely heavily on breaking down a specific type of fat to survive, using a part of the cell called a peroxisome. That’s akin to its fuel system.
