Multiple macroecological laws do characterize various aspects of microbiota dynamics

K. Tchourine, M. Carballo-Pacheco, D. Vitkup

The paper clarifies that macroecological laws describe microbiota dynamics with specific scaling exponents and shows these relationships are not due to external factors but internal dynamics.

Cancer cells depend on environmental lipids for proliferation when electron acceptors are limited

Z. Li, B. W. Ji, P. D. Dixit, E. C. Lien, K. Tchourine, A. M. Hosios, K. L. Abbott, A. M. Westermark, E. F. Gorodetsky, L. B. Sullivan, M. Vander Heiden, D. Vitkup

This study shows that cancer cells rely on environmental lipids for proliferation under conditions of limited electron acceptors, such as hypoxia or mitochondrial inhibition.
