Abstract

How metabolic fitness in cancer clones is established and selected during dissemination and colonization remains enigmatic. A study in Nature now shows that disseminated pancreatic cancer cells bifurcate to seed the lung or liver on the basis of PCSK9 levels and the availability of microenvironmental cholesterol.

期刊介绍： Nature Structural & Molecular Biology is a comprehensive platform that combines structural and molecular research. Our journal focuses on exploring the functional and mechanistic aspects of biological processes, emphasizing how molecular components collaborate to achieve a particular function. While structural data can shed light on these insights, our publication does not require them as a prerequisite.
