This study identifies GAA accumulation in gliomas as a driver of neuronal activity and tumor growth, linking cancer metabolism to neuroscience through GABAA receptor activation.

The paper develops a biosensor to monitor α-ketoglutarate in human cells and identifies a mitochondrial-to-nuclear pathway regulating chromatin methylation.

The paper develops a platform to trace 30 nitrogen isotope-labeled metabolites, revealing cell state-specific pyrimidine synthesis pathway preferences in primitive and differentiated cells.

This study identifies KDM6 enzymes as targets of R2HG from mutant IDH, linking them to replication stress sensitivity in gliomas and introduces a DHODH inhibitor, GLIO-1, with potential clinical applications.

This study shows mutant IDH reprograms neural progenitor cell fate by silencing Gsx2, promoting gliomagenesis through lineage switching.
