In a bid to better understand how cancer cells power their explosive growth and spread, scientists at Johns Hopkins Medicine have shed new light on the location and function of power-generating waves on cancer cell membranes. The scientists say the waves, generated by rhythmic propagation of enzymes that produce energy from glucose, could potentially be used to better stage cancers and as targets for new cancer drugs.
