Polyethylene glycol glucose conjugate: an enabling excipient to block overexpressed glucose transporters on malignant cells
A commonality between many cancers is that they have increased rates of glucose uptake that is, in turn, achieved by overexpression of cell membrane localized uniporters called glucose transporters or GLUT. A 'near universal' approach to kill cancer cells lies in depriving them of their me...
