Don't Throw Off Warburg Theory of Cancer Just Yet, Medgadget, January 12, 2009. Excerpt:
Boston College biologists and colleagues at Washington University School of Medicine found new evidence to support Warburg's theory by examining mitochondrial lipids in a diverse group of mouse brain tumors, specifically a complex lipid known as cardiolipin (CL). They reported their findings in the December edition of the Journal of Lipid Research.
