Therapeutic targeting of SPIB/SPI1‐facilitated interplay of cancer cells and neutrophils inhibits aerobic glycolysis and cancer progression

Abstract Background As a metabolic reprogramming feature, cancer cells derive most of their energy from aerobic glycolysis, while its regulatory mechanisms and therapeutic strategies continue to be illusive. Methods Integrative analysis of publically available expression profile datasets was used to...
