 Context examples 

The oldest observation in cancer metabolism, the Warburg effect, says that lactate is a waste product of the tumor.

(Study Challenges Long-Standing Concept in Cancer Metabolism, The Titi Tudorancea Bulletin)

The findings are not sufficient to identify the primary cause of the Warburg effect.

(Scientists Reveal The Relationship Between Sugar, Cancer, The Titi Tudorancea Bulletin)

Scientists have discovered that lactate provides a fuel for growing tumors, challenging a nearly century-old observation known as the Warburg effect.

(Study Challenges Long-Standing Concept in Cancer Metabolism, The Titi Tudorancea Bulletin)

Its main focus was the Warburg effect, or the observation that tumors convert significantly higher amounts of sugar into lactate compared to healthy tissues.

(Scientists Reveal The Relationship Between Sugar, Cancer, The Titi Tudorancea Bulletin)

Combined with a previous study from the DeBerardinis lab that showed activated glucose oxidation in tumors, the results of this study are challenging the tenets of the Warburg effect.

(Study Challenges Long-Standing Concept in Cancer Metabolism, The Titi Tudorancea Bulletin)

Thus, it is able to explain the correlation between the strength of the Warburg effect and tumor aggressiveness.

(Scientists Reveal The Relationship Between Sugar, Cancer, The Titi Tudorancea Bulletin)

Scientists at the Children's Medical Center Research Institute at UT Southwestern (CRI) have discovered that lactate provides a fuel for growing tumors, challenging a nearly century-old observation known as the Warburg effect.

(Study Challenges Long-Standing Concept in Cancer Metabolism, The Titi Tudorancea Bulletin)

Scientists have clarified how the Warburg effect, a phenomenon in which cancer cells rapidly break down sugars, stimulates tumor growth.

(Scientists Reveal The Relationship Between Sugar, Cancer, The Titi Tudorancea Bulletin)

The Warburg effect, named after the German cancer biologist Otto Warburg, has three main components: rapid glucose uptake, reduced glucose oxidation even when oxygen is present, and secretion of lactate as a waste product.
