Abstract
Investigation of the metabolic regulation of cancer stem cells is an emerging field that offers promising approaches for identifying and targeting recalcitrant stem cell populations. In this issue of Cell Stem Cell, Li et al. (2017) indicate that increased lipid desaturation is essential to stem-like characteristics in ovarian cancer cells.
