Warburg Effect
Description
The Warburg Effect, named after Otto Warburg, describes a phenomenon in which cancer cells display increased glucose uptake and preferentially utilize glycolysis even in the presence of oxygen. This metabolic shift towards glycolysis, rather than oxidative phosphorylation, provides cancer cells with the necessary energy and metabolic intermediates for rapid proliferation. The Warburg Effect has implications for cancer diagnosis, treatment, and understanding of tumor metabolism.
