“…In addition to overcoming the nutrient-poor TME that challenges their own survival, they also provide metabolic support to other cells in their TME, including cancer cells, by providing lipids, amino acids, exosomal content, nucleosides, carbohydrates, and by recycling metabolic waste products. 26 , 37 , 38 , 66 , 67 , 68 , 69 , 70 , 71 , 72 , 73 Not surprisingly, there are many studies focusing on targeting different metabolic programs in CAFs, with successful functional outcomes initially, such as with glutaminase inhibitors. 74 , 75 Nevertheless, there are many redundant metabolic circuits that allow cells to rewire these circuits, 76 overcoming nutrient deficiencies induced by metabolic enzyme blockade.…”
