Scope and Contents

Contents

Defective arginine synthesis, due to the silencing of
argininosuccinate synthase 1
(ASS1), is a common metabolic vulnerability in cancer, known as arginine auxotrophy. Understanding how arginine depletion kills arginine-auxotrophic cancer cells will facilitate the development of anti-cancer therapeutic strategies. Here we show that depletion...
