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

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

This paper develops a method to assess cancer organoid viability using rapid imaging and a fragmentation algorithm, finding significant correlations between SSD scores and traditional viability markers.
