Geological tool helps study biology of cancer at atomic levels

A groundbreaking study reveals cancer cells have a distinct hydrogen composition, potentially revolutionizing early detection.

In a major breakthrough, scientists have discovered a unique “fingerprint” within cancer cells based on their hydrogen composition.

Maloney, who previously studied hydrogen isotopes in tropical algae, got inspiration for this research from her father’s work as a dermatologist. They hypothesized that cancer’s altered metabolism might change how NADPH uses hydrogen, leading to a detectable difference in cellular composition. This exciting breakthrough could have significant implications for cancer research.
