DNA Repair
Scientists uncover cancer cells' mitochondrial energy surge under pressure
AI에 의해 보고됨
Researchers have discovered that cancer cells respond to physical squeezing by rapidly deploying mitochondria to the nucleus, delivering a burst of ATP to repair DNA damage and ensure survival. This mechanism, observed in lab experiments and patient biopsies, could inspire new strategies to halt cancer spread. The finding redefines mitochondria's role as dynamic responders rather than static energy sources.
