Abstract:
Two studies unmask the essentiality of methionine synthase activity in powering the folate cycle to replenish the tetrahydrofolate pool from 5-methyltetrahydrofolate; this generates nucleotides that support tumour growth. Dietary manipulation alters folate availability and holds implications for anti-cancer therapy response.
