  "summary": "Lactate uptake through monocarboxylate transporter 1 (MCT1) is associated with aggressive disease in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), but how lactate transport supports tumor metabolism remains incompletely understood. Integrating stable isotope tracing, metabolomics, and transcriptomics across patient tumors, animal models, and cultured cells, we show that elevated lactate utilization and…",
