요약정보

Beer is made of wheat or barley‚ and yeast converts the glucose in the wort to alcohol. This fermentation process is carried out in the absence of oxygen. Cancer cells use the same process to produce energy. Without using oxygen‚ cancer cells convert sugar into lactic acid. Healthy human cells produce energy using oxygen through respiration. Oxygen-based metabolism produces more energy‚ but the cost to produce molecules for respiration are twice those needed to ferment glucose. Also‚ the by-products from the fermentation process can be used to form cancer cells during research‚ …making the method even more cost-effective. This study could even have implications in identifying potential targets in treating cancer. "If we block the metabolism of cancer cells in collaboration with existing anti-cancer drugs‚ it will boost their effectiveness. Fermentation does not only occur in foods and drinks such as Kimchi and beer‚ it may even provide a new strategy to treat cancer. Park Se-young‚ Arirang News. Reporter :
