Abstract

Distant metastases from pancreatic cancer patients were previously reported by the authors to be dependent on the glucose-metabolizing enzyme phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (PGD). Here the authors report a novel metabolic adaptation that that stably activates PGD to reprogram metastatic chromatin.
