Apr 24, 2019 · Cancer cells’ addiction to glutamine has long tempted cancer biologists as a potential Achilles’ heel for treating the disease. Perhaps by cutting off the supply of this amino acid, one could starve cancer cells to death. Inconveniently, normal cells need glutamine too.
May 20, 2019 · So they require extra methionine from outside the body—via food we eat—for survival. Cut off that supply, and it should help to slow the tumor without starving the person.
