An increase in the metabolically active serum phospholipid fraction is reflected in elevated neoplastic tissue phospholipid. This produces altered proportions between lipid fractions in tumorous areas and may result in changes in the intact nature of the cellular membrane, spread, and malignant proliferation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
