Acidosis is not just a byproduct of an altere Metabolism - it drives cancer cells‘ stress resilience mechanisms. Big congratulations to our friends from the @johanneszuber.bsky.social lab as well as the team around @wilhelmpalm.bsky.social on this wonderful story now out in Science.
Just out in @science.org: Together with the lab of @wilhelmpalm.bsky.social, we used sequential in-vitro/in-vivo CRISPR screens to decipher metabolic adaptations in tumors. We find that acidosis is a dominant factor that shapes energy metabolism and stress resilience. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
