Mitochondrial supercomplex assembly promotes breast and endometrial tumorigenesis by metabolic alterations and enhanced hypoxia tolerance

Cancer cells rely on mitochondrial respiration to satisfy their metabolic demands. Here the authors show that the mitochondrial supercomplex assembly factor COX7RP is abundantly expressed in breast and endometrial cancer cells and promotes tumor growth and hypoxia tolerance partially by altering lev...
