Proliferating cancer cells rely largely on glutamine for survival and proliferation. Glutamine
serves as a carbon source for the synthesis of lipids and metabolites via the TCA cycle, as …

Reprogrammed metabolism is a hallmark of cancer. However, the metabolic dependency of
cancer, from tumour initiation through disease progression and therapy resistance, requires …

Cancer cells characteristically consume glucose through Warburg metabolism, a process
that forms the basis of tumour imaging by positron emission tomography (PET). Tumour …

Cancer cells undergo metabolic alterations to meet the immense demand for energy,
building blocks, and redox potential. Tumors show glucose-avid and lactate-secreting …

Metabolic reprogramming has been widely recognized as a hallmark of malignancy. The
uptake and metabolism of amino acids are aberrantly upregulated in many cancers that …

Ferroptosis is a new form of regulated cell death, which is characterized by the iron‐
dependent accumulation of lethal lipid peroxides and involved in many critical diseases …

Oncogenic signalling and metabolic alterations are interrelated in cancer cells. mTOR,
which is frequently activated in cancer, controls cell growth and metabolism. mTOR …

Rapidly proliferating tumor and immune cells need metabolic programs that support energy
and biomass production. The amino acid glutamine is consumed by effector T cells and …

Glutamine is the most abundant circulating amino acid in blood and muscle and is critical for
many fundamental cell functions in cancer cells, including synthesis of metabolites that …

Biochemistry textbooks and cell culture experiments seem to be telling us two different
things about the significance of external glutamine supply for mammalian cell growth and …
