Collagen-derived proline promotes pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma cell survival under nutrient limited conditions

Cancer cells adapt their metabolism to survive limited nutrient availability. Here, the authors show that in conditions of limited glucose or glutamine availability, pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma cells can use collagen-derived proline to foster the TCA cycle and allow cell survival bothin vitro a...
