Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is our privilege to invite you to contribute meaningful articles, including original research and reviews, to our Special Issue: Metabolic Plasticity in Cancer. The field of cancer metabolism is rapidly growing, and discoveries related to the plasticity of cancer cells and their innate ability to swiftly use different sources of energy are becoming increasingly important. We encourage contributions that discuss the dynamic metabolic behavior of cancer cells as well as cancer stem cells and their use of various metabolic pathways, including but not limited to oxidative phosphorylation, fatty acid metabolism, and glycolysis.
