The microRNA-320a is a common link between sugar, lung cancer and breathing machine dependence, a new study published in the FASEB Journal reveals.
In the report, Stanford scientists show that the molecule microRNA-320a is responsible for helping control glycolysis. Glycolysis is the process of converting sugar into energy, which fuels the growth of some cancers, and contributes to the wasting of unused muscles such as the diaphragm when people are using ventilators. Identifying ways to use ...
