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...
This study presents quantitative metabolomic measurements of plasma and tissue interstitial fluids (IF) collected from healthy C57BL/6J mice. Using liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC–MS) and external chemical standards, absolute concentrations were determined for over one hundred polar m...
Metabolic networks are interconnected and influence diverse cellular processes. The protein-metabolite interactions that mediate these networks are frequently low affinity and challenging to systematically discover. We developed mass spectrometry integrated with equilibrium dialysis for the disco...
