Overview
- An integrative view of tumor microenvironment and cancer metabolic adaptations, focusing different cancer contexts and interspecific cellular actions
- A wide range of traits, showing the way cancer adapts metabolically to the microenvironment
- A clear presentation of different cancer models and analytical techniques, their usefulness, advantages and limitations
Part of the book series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology (AEMB, volume 1219)

About this book
In this book, we intend to present the different components of the microenvironment driving the metabolic fitness of cancer cells. Themetabolic changes required for establishing a tumor in a given microenvironment and how these metabolic changes limit the response to drugs will generally be the major items addressed. It is important to mention not only aspects of the microenvironment that stimulate metabolic changes and that select better adapted tumor cells, but also how this regulation of cell plasticity is made. Thus, the signaling pathways that orchestrate and are orchestrated throughout this panoply of metabolic rearrangements will also be addressed in this book.
The subjects will be presented from the conceptual point of view of the cross-cancer mechanisms and also particularizing some models that can be examples and enlightening within the different areas.Similar content being viewed by others
