A growing body of research shows that where cancer cells settle is not random. The nutrient landscape of each organ—its available sugars, amino acids, lipids, and other…

Decoding Sepsis Signaling and Metabolic Dysregulation
Introduction: The Signaling Web Behind Sepsis Sepsis is a life-threatening syndrome driven by dysregulated immune responses and widespread metabolic disruption. Modern research reveals that sepsis emerges from an intricate network of signaling pathways that control inflammation and cellular energy. By decoding these networks—rather than focusing on a single target—we can better understand disease progression and…
