Amino acids in cancer: Understanding metabolic plasticity and divergence for better therapeutic approaches

Abstract excerpt

Metabolic reprogramming is a hallmark of malignant transformation. While initial studies in the field of cancer metabolism focused on central carbon metabolism, the field has expanded to metabolism beyond glucose and glutamine and uncovered the important role of amino acids in tumorigenesis and tumor immunity as energy sources, signaling molecules, and precursors for (epi)genetic modification. As a result of the...
