Cancer cells are often described as “glutamine addicted,” relying heavily on this amino acid to fuel growth. But new research reveals how some tumors sidestep this vulnerability.

A new study shows cancer cells depend on vitamin B7 to use pyruvate as backup fuel, opening new strategies for targeted therapy.

Endogenous pyruvate is an end-product in glycolysis and a key molecule for ATP production under aerobic and anaerobic conditions, whereas exogenous pyruvate is transferred to cells via monocarboxylate ...

Cancer cells are known for their ability to grow quickly and survive in harsh conditions that would kill normal cells. To do this, they rely heavily on nutrients that fuel their rapid growth. One of ...
