Unraveling Obesity’s Link to Colorectal Cancer
Obesity is a well-known risk factor for colorectal cancer, but the exact connections between the two conditions are not fully understood. A groundbreaking project is using untargeted metabolomics, focusing on small molecules, to uncover the 'metabolic signatures'...
