SHMT2 drives glioma cell survival in ischaemia but imposes a dependence on glycine clearance

Cancer cells adapt their metabolic processes to support rapid proliferation, but less is known about how cancer cells alter metabolism to promote cell survival in a poorly vascularized tumour microenvironment1, 2, 3. Here we identify a key role for serine and glycine metabolism in the survival of br...
