Propionate metabolism dysregulation promotes drug-tolerant persister cell survival in non-small cell lung cancer

Bobak Parang, Liron Yoffe, Rabia Khan…·John Blenis

This study shows that propionate metabolism dysregulation, through MMA accumulation and EMT activation, promotes drug-tolerant persister cell survival in NSCLC.

Lysosome-dependent nutrient scavenging underliesstress adaptation during epithelial-to-mesenchymaltransition

Michal J. Nagiec, Paola M. Cavaliere, Friederike Dündar…·John Blenis

This study shows that invasive cancer cells use lysosome-mediated nutrient scavenging during EMT, bypassing plasma membrane transport, and that this process is regulated by c-MYC downregulation.
