SLC6A14 Drives Mitochondrial Fusion and Oxidative Phosphorylation to Promote Cancer Stemness and Early‐Onset of Breast Cancer

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Elevated levels of the plasticizer DEHP associate with earlier breast cancer diagnosis. DEHP enhances glutamine‐powered energy production via the transporter SLC6A14 and pushes mitochondria toward fusion, driving tumor initiation by boosting cancer stemness. Blocking SLC6A14 lowers stemness, slows tumors, and improves chemotherapy response.
