Understanding Genetic Damage and Cancer Metabolism

This chapter explores the intricate dynamics of genetic damage and its stochastic nature, focusing on gene regulatory networks and evolutionary influences in cancer biology. It examines the contrasting metabolic pathways of cancerous and healthy cells, emphasizing the implications of glucose utilization and oxidative phosphorylation on cancer progression. Additionally, the discussion highlights the role of gene expression and the vulnerabilities of cancer cells, advancing our understanding of their complex biology and treatment strategies.
