Open AccessFormate overflow drives toxic folate trap** in MTHFD1 inhibited cancer cells
Cancer cells fuel their increased need for nucleotide supply by upregulating one-carbon (1C) metabolism, including the enzymes methylenetetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase–cyclohydrolase 1 and 2 (MTHFD1 and MTHFD2)...

Open AccessTargeting PFKFB3 radiosensitizes cancer cells and suppresses homologous recombination
The glycolytic PFKFB3 enzyme is widely overexpressed in cancer cells and an emerging anti-cancer target. Here, we identify PFKFB3 as a critical factor in homologous recombination (HR) repair of DNA double-stra...
