Mapping of cancer cell fuel pumps paves the way for new drugs

For the first time, researchers have managed to obtain detailed images of the way in which the transport protein GLUT transports sugars into cells. Since tumors are highly dependent on the transportation of nutrients in order to be able to grow rapidly, the researchers are hoping that their study will form the basis for new strategies to fight cancer cells.
