New pre-print from the lab! We describe an alternative route for β-hydroxybutyrate metabolism that allows it to bypass the TCA cycle to support fatty acid synthesis in cancer cells. Check it out! 👇

Thanks for the invite! I had a fun visit and it was great to share the first few projects coming out of our lab!
Evan (@eclien, @VAIMetabolism) looking deeply introspective about diet and cancer 🧐 So great to have you out for our @UMRogelCancer Tumor & Immune Metabolism Meeting!
