Abstract
Tumours reprogram their metabolism to maximize macromolecule biosynthesis for growth. However, which of the common tumour-associated metabolic activities are critical for proliferation remains unclear. Glutamate-derived glutamine is now shown to satisfy the glutamine needs of glioblastoma, indicating that glutamine anaplerosis is dispensable for growth.Entities:
