    The amino acid transporter SLC7A5 is required for efficient growth of KRAS-mutant colorectal cancer

    Oncogenic KRAS mutations and inactivation of the APC tumor suppressor co-occur in colorectal cancer (CRC). Despite efforts to target mutant KRAS directly, most therapeutic approaches focus on downstream pathways,...

    mTORC1-mediated translational elongation limits intestinal tumour initiation and growth

    The mTORC1 complex has been implicated in tumorigenesis owing partially to its ability to increase protein translation; now, mTORC1 activity in the mouse intestine is shown not to be required for normal homeos...
