          Abstract

          In this issue of JEM, Chu and An et al. describe the role of the tricyclic antidepressant nortriptyline in inhibition of fatty acid uptake. Nortriptyline promotes cell acidification and suppresses macropinocytosis, providing a link between fatty acid uptake and tumor progression.
