Study finds high levels of aspartate may explain cancer's tendency to spread to the lungs.

A recent study in Nature indicates that high levels of the amino acid aspartate may explain why cancer often spreads to the lungs. Aspartate triggers a genetic process in cancer cells that boosts their ability to grow in the lungs. This discovery could lead to new drugs that prevent cancers from metastasizing to the lungs, potentially improving treatment outcomes.
