Zoey's GLUT1 paper now online

Zoey's second paper is now online at Cell Death Discovery!  She studied how a GLUT1 inhibitor causes apoptosis in head and neck cancer cells.  At lower concentrations, this GLUT1 inhibitor also sensitizes cancer cells to bitter taste receptor agonists to enhance their apoptotic effects.  Great work Zoey!  Another important contributor to this work (and second author!) was our Penn IDEAL SUIP student Sahil Muthuswami. You can read the open access (freely available) paper online here.
