MYCN-driven fatty acid uptake is a metabolic vulnerability in neuroblastoma

Half of high-risk neuroblastoma patients have MYCN amplification. Here, the authors show that MYCN induces fatty acid uptake and synthesis to support neuroblastoma and inhibition of a fatty acid transporter impairs tumor progression in preclinical models.
