Metabolism
of a cell is constantly adjusting the ever changing environment. There
are countless possibilities. Cancer treatments select for survivors by
selecting the metabolic state that works under a particular stress. This
allows for selection of drug resistant cancers that are typically
burning fat but are able to use nutrients from outside rather than only
those generated by autophagy. Ultimately genetic changes formalize the
epigenetic changes as mutations. drbob
