Caption

Cong-Hui Yao, a graduate student in the Patti Lab at Washington University in St. Louis, explains a surprising finding about the metabolism of cancer cells. A McDonnell scholar, she is the first author on a new publication that suggests dividing cancer cells don't soak up more glucose if they can scavenge lipids instead of synthesizing them.
