Contact-based transfer of thymidylate promotes collective tumor growth
2024-08-01
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Summary</h4> Sustained cell proliferation is a fundamental hallmark of cancer, yet its mechanism remains elusive, particularly in context of heterogenous tumor organization, intercellular interactions, and metabolite exchanges. In this study, we uncover a mechanism of tumor growth via collective proliferation , where cells connected by gap junctions enable equilibration of thymidylate (dTMP) to allow the pro...
