Genome-scale metabolic modeling elucidates the role of proliferative adaptation in causing the Warburg effect.

The Warburg effect--a classical hallmark of cancer metabolism--is a counter-intuitive phenomenon in which rapidly proliferating cancer cells resort to inefficient ATP production via glycolysis leading to lactate secretion, instead of relying primarily on more efficient energy production through mito...
