Next, our 2nd preprint of the week (!), this one driven by @madelouhart.bsky.social Previously: Mitochondrial inhibition impairs cell proliferation by constraining aspartate (ASP) availability. Here: we investigate the kinetics of ASP depletion/ proliferation impairments and...surprises ensue!

Excited to share a recent preprint by Oliver Newsom, where we evaluate the functional contributions of serum for cancer cell proliferation. Inside: A broadly applicable serum-free media, Quantitative lipid uptake characterization, Evidence lipid scavenging > synthesis for cancer cell proliferation.

See you next week for Oliver Newsom’s dissertation defense! Title: No Fat Chance: albumin-associated lipids are critical for culture success Lab: Sullivan Lab, FH (@lucasbsullivan.bsky.social When: Thurs, Feb. 13, 1:30pm PDT Where: FH Sze Suites, Thomas Building & Zoom (email [email protected] for link)

I’m really proud to announce the 2025 Cancer Metabolism Showcase and Workshop, May 5th and 6th, 9:30 AM - 3 PM EST. This year, our Keynote Speaker is Dr. Jeffrey Rathmell from VUMC. I'm excited to come together, talk science, and support researchers in our field. www.cancermetabolismshowcase.org

But…..ok, ok, I’m convinced. Elegant and definitive. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Registration is open for #METPHYS2025! www.sablesys.com/metphys2025-...

I have curated a second "metabolism" starter pack, as the first quickly got full. Please have a look, and I am happy to add others (sorry for those who may appear in both): go.bsky.app/CH1MctZ
