Deskripsi

Primary and metastatic tumours have different metabolic phenotypes due to changes in nutrient availability. Here the authors perform multi-omic analyses of primary and metastatic renal cancer cells grown in a physiological medium and show that the reprogramming of the branched-chain amino acid catabolism and urea cycle through re-expression of ASS1 allows metabolic flexibility during renal cancer progression.
