Dietary glutamine supplementation suppresses epigenetically-activated oncogenic pathways to inhibit melanoma tumour growth

The availability of nutrients within the tumour microenvironment can influence tumour growth. Here, the authors find that, in a melanoma mouse model, mice fed a high glutamine diet have reduced tumour growth, increased sensitivity to Braf inhibitors and elevated a-ketoglutarate levels.
