Figures & data

Figure 1. Schematic representation of the secretion of miR-122 in exosomes by cancer cells. The export of miR-122 allows cancer cells to increase their glucose uptake by enhancing GLUT1 expression to support cancer cell growth, while simultaneously suppressing glucose uptake in niche cells. Bold arrows represent the favored pathway.
