[PDF][PDF] Cellular fatty acid metabolism and cancer
Cell metabolism, 2013•cell.com
Cancer cells often have characteristic changes in metabolism. Cellular proliferation, a
common feature of all cancers, requires fatty acids for synthesis of membranes and signaling
molecules. Here, we provide a view of cancer cell metabolism from a lipid perspective, and
we summarize evidence that limiting fatty acid availability can control cancer cell
proliferation.
