New clues about cancer cell metabolism: Smallest amino acid, glycine, implicated in cancer cell proliferation

ScienceDaily: Latest Science News
Researchers have looked across 60 well-studied cancer cell lines, analyzing which of more than 200 metabolites were consumed or released by the fastest dividing cells. Their research yields the first large-scale atlas of cancer metabolism and points to a key role for the smallest amino acid, glycine, in cancer cell proliferation.
