With the advancement of metabolic mechanisms, researchers have gradually realized that, rather than solely acquiring energy, tumor cells primarily generate a diverse array of metabolites to support biosynthesis and cellular functions, such as proliferation and metastasis
In the adult brain, BDNF also supports neurogenesis in the hippocampal dentate gyrus, one of the few brain regions where new neurons continue to form throughout life
In a related study, macrophages co-cultured with NRF2 active cancers were driven to an immunosuppressive M2 phenotype characterized by increased CD163 and Arg1 as well as diminished IL-6 and IL-1b [42]
