Asparagine synthetase (ASNS) catalyzes the biosynthesis of asparagine from aspartate and glutamine. Cells lacking ASNS, however, are auxotrophic for asparagine. Use of L-asparaginase to promote asparagine starvation in solid tumors with low ASNS levels, such as pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), is a rationale treatment strategy.

Article Synopsis
  • High-throughput fluorescent microscopy is a method used to study tissues and cells by taking lots of images, but sometimes technical problems can get in the way of seeing the real results.
  • The researchers created a way to fix these problems using a special design that helps get rid of unwanted noise in the images, which helps to see the important biological information better.
  • They used this method on something called microenvironment microarrays (MEMAs) and shared their data and tools online for others to use.
