Tumor CTR1 and serum copper dynamics reveal a coordinated copper axis linked to high-grade triple-negative breast cancer biology
2025-12-27
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background</h4> Copper is an essential nutrient required for energy production, antioxidant defense, and connective tissue maturation, yet has emerged as a metabolic vulnerability in cancer. CTR1 ( SLC31A1 ), the high-affinity copper importer, mediates cellular copper uptake, and its upregulation may signal increased copper demand in tumor cells. The dynamics of copper regulation across tumor growth, aggress...
