Where this comes from

Abstract

Tumor cells frequently undergo metabolic reprogramming, but it is unknown how these metabolic changes relate to drug resistance. A recent article now demonstrates that PI3K/AKT signaling causes a metabolic switch from glutaminolysis to aerobic glycolysis in Notch-dependent T cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL).
