Stable isotope tracing is often used in conjunction with other technologies to provide a more comprehensive understanding of cancer metabolism:
1. Genomics and Transcriptomics: These techniques can identify genetic and transcriptional changes that drive metabolic alterations. 2. Proteomics: By combining stable isotope tracing with proteomic analyses, researchers can correlate changes in metabolic fluxes with changes in protein expression and activity. 3. Imaging: Techniques like PET imaging can be used alongside stable isotope tracing to visualize metabolic changes in vivo.
