Beyond excited to share that the main work of my PhD on how aspartate signaling drives metastasis is finally out in nature ✨ -> go.nature.com/4gCYtuL A huge thank to the @Fendtlab and all our collaborators for the terrific team work 🙏 KU Leuven CCB_VIB_KUL A brief🧵

🚨 Now in nature, Ginevra Doglioni, Sarah-Maria Fendt, and colleagues discover a role for aspartate in cancer metastasis. FWO @komop_tgkanker StichtingtegenKanker KU Leuven CCB_VIB_KUL vibbio.tech/3PjLfXX

Scientists CCB_VIB_KUL found that aspartate, a biosynthesis metabolite, functions in the lung environment as an extracellular signaling molecule to promote aggressiveness of metastases in mice and patients. ow.ly/Ha0y50UzrBA

New research by CCB_VIB_KUL shows that #aspartate plays a key role in driving lung #metastasis in #cancer. The study, published in nature, reveals how aspartate activates a signaling pathway that boosts cancer cell aggression in the #lung. 🫁 flanders.bio/news/researche…
