Scientists discover an “impossible” cellular survival pathway that could help fight cancer

Scientists have uncovered a previously unknown cellular pathway that allows mammalian cells, including cancer cells, to produce the essential amino acid cysteine even when standard survival mechanisms are disabled. This discovery suggests new potential targets for cancer treatments by potentially weakening tumor resilience.
