Abstract
Cancer cells in culture obtain ATP and biosynthetic precursors primarily by aerobic glycolysis, not by mitochondrial glucose oxidation. In this issue of Cell Metabolism, Marin-Valencia et al. (2012) demonstrate that glioblastoma, an aggressive and, in culture, highly glycolytic cancer, primarily uses glucose oxidation to meet energetic and biosynthetic demands in vivo.Entities:
