Each cell type in the tumour microenvironment has unique metabolic demands enabling specific functions. Here the authors use published single-cell RNA-seq data and develop a computational framework to better understand the heterogeneity of tumour metabolism, highlighting the discordance between results obtained from single cells and bulk tumours.
