Researchers at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University have discovered that cancer cells feed on recycled cell waste. Cancer cells use a process known as "autophagy", which turns spent cell material into reusable energy. Researchers have previously known that cancer cells use large amounts of energy, but what they didn't know was how they acquired it, that is until this discovery. Using this knowledge, treatments can be developed which shrink tumor growth and limit it from spreading to other parts of the body.
