Abstract

Understanding the metabolic rewiring of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma is an emerging strategy for identifying cancer-associated liabilities and improving treatment. A new study now elucidates the function of the transaminase BCAT2 in the early stages of tumor development, providing insights that could stimulate novel therapeutic strategies.
