Adaptive response to serine and glycine deprivation enhances the stemness potential of pancreatic cancer cells

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) develops within a nutrient-poor microenvironment, where pancreatic cancer stem cells (PaCSCs) can persist despite limited oxygen and nutrient availability. This resilience partially relies on mitochondrial metabolic flexibility. Serine and...
