Metabolic adaptability in metastatic breast cancer by AKR1B10-dependent balancing of glycolysis and fatty acid oxidation

Cancer cells must develop distinct metabolic adaptations to survive in challenging metastatic environments. Here, the authors find, via an in vivo RNAi screen, that the aldo-keto reductase AKR1B10 limits the toxic side effects of oxidative stress to sustain fatty acid oxidation and promote metastati...
