To colonize the liver, colon cancer metastases must overcome hypoxia and other metabolic
stress. Loo et al. now show that metastatic cells achieve this by decreasing miR-483 and
miR-551a expression, which derepresses creatine kinase expression and allows energy to
be captured from extracellular ATP through generation and import of phosphocreatine.
