Cancer cells acquire cysteine directly from a reduced tumor microenvironment

Feroza K. Choudhury, Basma A. Yasseen, Paloma González‐Sánchez, Matthew Long, Samantha Caldwell, Pritin N. Soni, Suehelay Acevedo‐Acevedo, Yun Huang, Elsa Renee Flores, Chang Jiang, Nathan P. Ward, Gina M. DeNicola

The paper shows cancer cells in the lung take up cysteine and cystine efficiently, and the reduced tumor microenvironment supports their growth and resistance to oxidative stress.
