ARAŞTIRMA ÖZETİ
The primary focus of the laboratory is on pathways regulating metabolism in cancer cells. Deregulated metabolism of proteins, lipids, and fatty acids is increasingly being appreciated as a hallmark of cancer. The signaling pathways regulating these metabolic changes, therefore, need to be examined to better understand the metabolic deregulations and novel targets for drug development. Additionally, starving cancer cells of specific nutrients and amino acids can also increase their sensitivity the chemotherapy. Using colorectal cancer as a model, our laboratory systematically focuses on pathways related to lipid and carbohydrate metabolism and the role played by these bioactive compounds in the regulation of inflammatory pathways.
