Pro-tumorigenic AMPK in glioblastoma

TL;DR: It is shown that glioma stem cells co-opt an AMPK-dependent pathway to rewire metabolism, promoting tumour growth.
Patent

Novel Compounds for Treatment of Malignant Tumors

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present compounds, compositions and methods of use for sensitizing cancer cells, tumors, neoplasms, and malignancies to the effects of ionizing radiation used in the treatment of cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI

The PKR-Like Endoplasmic Reticulum Kinase Promotes the Dissemination of Myc-Induced Leukemic Cells.

TL;DR: It is found that genetic ablation of Perk does not suppress the generation of the leukemic cells in the bone marrow, and the cell-autonomous Perk deficiency restricts the dissemination of leukedmic cells into peripheral blood, lymph nodes, and vital peripheral organs.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

Abstract B05: PI3K/mTOR pathway-dependent regulation of oxygen metabolism via pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH)-E1alpha phosphorylation

TL;DR: It is shown that pharmacological inhibition of this pathway leads to a decrease in hypoxia within SQ20B human head and neck cancer xenografts and a novel link between this pathway and PDH phosphorylation is revealed.
