Methionine-producing tumor micro(be) environment fuels growth of solid tumors

In this study, we focused on methionine as one of the critical molecules, but we also hypothesize that additional bacterial metabolites may also be utilized by LUAD. Indeed, our radiolabeling data suggest that other biomolecules are shared between cancer cells and bacteria. Thus, modulating the local microbiome may have an indirect effect on tumor development, progression, and metastasis.
