Amino Acids Rather than Glucose Account for the Majority of Cell Mass in Proliferating Mammalian Cells
Published in Developmental cell (07-03-2016)“…Cells must duplicate their mass in order to proliferate. Glucose and glutamine are the major nutrients consumed by proliferating mammalian cells, but the…”

Abstract A36: Amino acids rather than glucose accounts for the majority of cell mass in rapidly proliferating mammalian cells
Published in Molecular cancer research (01-01-2016)“…Abstract To facilitate growth and division, proliferating cells must duplicate their mass over the cell cycle. Glucose and glutamine are the most consumed…”
