KRAS-mutant colorectal cancer (KRASmut CRC) exhibits metabolic plasticity and chemoresistance, but the underlying mechanisms remain incompletely understood. Here, we show in CRC cells and organoids that KRAS-driven lactate accumulation promotes MCT1 K224 lactylation, which stabilizes mitochondria...
Tumours arise from uncontrolled cell proliferation driven by mutations in genes that regulate stem cell renewal and differentiation. Intestinal tumours, however, retain some hierarchical organization, maintaining both cancer stem cells (CSCs) and cancer differentiated cells (CDCs). This heterogen...
