INSIGHT

Cancer Cell Vulnerability

  • Cancer cells have a lot of mitochondria and produce excess free radicals under hyperbaric oxygen.
  • This suggests a potential vulnerability to oxidative stress.
INSIGHT

ROS and Cancer

  • Cancer cells thrive at an elevated level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) but are vulnerable if ROS levels get too high.
  • This presents a potential therapeutic strategy.
ANECDOTE

BHB and Cancer Growth

  • D’Agostino observed that cancer cells didn't grow as rapidly in a medium with beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB).
  • This sparked his interest in ketones and cancer.
