title = "Serine Synthesis via PHGDH Is Essential for Heme Production in Endothelial Cells",
abstract = "Vandekeere et al. highlight a unique role for serine metabolism in endothelial cells (ECs). ECs utilize the serine synthetic pathway (SSP) differently from cancer cells and rely exclusively on the SSP for heme synthesis to maintain mitochondrial respiration and homeostasis.",
