Metabolic Interactions in the Tumor Microenvironment

Abstract

Ehsan Dean

The Tumor Microenvironment (TME) is a complex and dynamic ecosystem in which cancer cells interact with various stromal cells, immune cells and extracellular matrix components. One crucial aspect of these interactions is metabolic reprogramming. This article explores the intricate metabolic interactions that occur within the TME, shedding light on how these interactions drive tumor progression, immune evasion and potential therapeutic targets. Understanding the metabolic intricacies of the TME is crucial for developing novel cancer treatments and improving patient outcomes.
