Summary: The official Johns Hopkins Press Release of Dr. Chi Dang's famous study of 1998 showing that cancer cells self destruct when deprived of their main fuel, glucose. "The change [in the cancer-like cells] when we took away glucose was dramatic," says Dang. "By the next day, we knew very quickly that the cells we had altered to resemble cancer cells were dying off in large numbers." This document reports on the same study as referred to in the article "Scientists Trying to Starve Cancer Cells to Death" (available in these archives), but it goes into more detail regarding the actual investigation and is more technical in its language. Johns Hopkins Press Release, 1998.
