New Publication in Nature Communications: Targeting metabolic vulnerabilities in PI3K-driven leukemia

Submitted by com_inem on

The PI3K (phosphoinositide 3-kinase) signaling pathway is a key driver of metabolic plasticity in aggressive tumors, enabling them to adapt to their microenvironment and resist treatment. However, effectively targeting these cancers remains a major challenge.

In their study published in Nature Communications, Guillaume P. Andrieu et al. propose a promising new therapeutic approach to target leukemias harboring PI3K pathway alterations, which are often associated with poor prognosis and aggressive disease.
