Abstract
Macropinocytosis is an important nutrient-scavenging pathway in numerous cancer types, including pancreatic, lung, prostate, and bladder. This Forum highlights recent work identifying the key regulators of macropinocytosis that support tumor cell fitness in different contexts, providing a unique framework for strategies to target macropinocytosis in the treatment of cancer.Entities:
