A huge thank to the @fendtlab.bsky.social and all our collaborators for the terrific team work 🙏

A brief 🧵

Aspartate signalling drives lung metastasis via alternative translation - Nature

Aspartate in the tumour environment activates the N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor in cancer cells to induce cellular programmes that increase the aggressiveness of metastasis.
