title: You Are What You Eat... or Are You?
abstract: In this issue of Developmental Cell, Hosios et al. (2016) take a rigorous and quantitative approach to analyze metabolite acquisition and allocation in proliferating cultured mammalian cells. This work clarifies what we know while providing a new analytical framework to undergird future work on the metabolism of proliferating cells.
