Glutamine and GLS1 are key metabolic checkpoints that Limit T cell Infiltration and Function in HNSCC

Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is characterized by poor survival and limited benefit from immune checkpoint blockade (ICB), underscoring the need to define targetable mechanisms of immune escape. In a prospective, patient-centered study, we investigated how tumor metabolic reprogramming impairs T cell function and drives ICB resistance. Targeted metabolomics identified two dominant…
