Scientists decode key factor in T cell lymphoma growth, paving way for new treatments

A team from the Technical University of Munich (TUM) has decoded the factor that makes T cell lymphomas grow comparatively rapidly: A missing "emergency shut-off switch" results in the lymphomas processing particularly large amounts of sugar and triggers other processes as well.
