Cells maintain metabolite homeostasis (metabolostasis) by buffering fluctuations in metabolite levels, yet the limits of this buffering and the mechanisms underlying metabolic toxicity remain poorly understood. To study this, we systematically overfed metabolites in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and q...
Metabolic lesions with pleiotropic effects on epigenetic regulation and other cellular processes are widely implicated in cancer, yet their oncogenic mechanisms remain poorly understood. Succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) deficiency causes a subset of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) with DNA h...
