Effects of glutamine deprivation on oxidative stress and cell survival in breast cell lines

Abstract Background Tumourigenic cells modify metabolic pathways in order to facilitate increased proliferation and cell survival resulting in glucose- and glutamine addiction. Previous research indicated that glutamine deprivation resulted in potential differential activity targeting tumourigenic c...
