Researchers have found that a protein involved in the breakdown of glucose - a process known as glycolysis -- plays an important role in coordinating cellular processes crucial to cancer metabolism and brain tumour formation. The findings may lay the groundwork for improved approaches to diagnosis and treatment of glioblastoma and other cancers. The study showed that PGK1 which is associated with cancer cell proliferation and drug resistance was instrumental in glycolysis and the citric acid cycle -- both important for generating the energy that feeds cancer cells. Our study highlights that PGK1 acts as a protein kinase in coordinating
