In both normal cells and cancer cells, the cell membrane acts as the skin of the cells. The research provides very basic knowledge about how cancer cells survive. However, the experiments in the laboratory could indicate that especially aggressive cancer cells use macropinocytosis. This type of recycling will be useful for cancer cells because they divide frequently, requiring large amounts of energy and material for the new cells. It can be another weak point in the cancer cells, and is something we want to examine closer", she said.
