This study examines how altering systemic serine and glycine availability through dietary intervention affects breast cancer metastasis in vivo. Female NOD-SCID-gamma (NSG) mice were maintained on either a control amino acid–replete diet or a serine/glycine-enriched diet for two weeks before and ...
Metastatic breast tumors must adapt to the metabolic constraints of their target tissues. To understand how tumor metabolism varies across sites, we compared glucose utilization in primary mammary fat pad (MFP) tumors and brain metastases derived from the breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231. Tumor...
Cd248 has recently been associated with adipose tissue physiology, demonstrated by reduced weight gain in high fat diet-fed mice with genetic deletion of Cd248 relative to controls. Here we set out to determine the metabolic consequences of loss of Cd248. Strikingly, we find these to be sex speci...
