What did Warburg's work help to develop?

  • Cancer treatments

  • Antibiotics

  • Vaccines

  • Painkillers

Answer

Cancer treatments were not directly developed from Warburg's work. His research focused on the metabolic changes in cancer cells, particularly their reliance on glycolysis for energy production. This discovery provided insights into the unique characteristics of cancer cells and laid the foundation for further research in cancer metabolism. However, it did not directly lead to the development of specific cancer treatments.
