Abstract
Abstract Metabolic reprogramming is a hallmark of cancer that supports the rapid proliferation and survival of tumor cells. While many studies have focused on identifying pathways involved in increased fuel usage, such as glucose and glutamine uptake and metabolism, the fate of metabolic waste products has been little investigated. Ammonia is a ubiquitous by-product of cellular metabolism, long thought to be a toxic waste product. Here we will discuss ammonia recycling to support cellular biomass and proliferation in breast cancer. Citation Format: Marcia Haigis. Metabolic recycling in cancer [abstract].
