Where this comes from

Abstract

Metabolism is a key regulator of cancer biology; however, its role in therapeutic resistance has remained largely unresolved. Several new studies disclose that mitochondrial metabolism and oxidative phosphorylation at least in part drive chemoresistance in cancer and thus have important implications for targeted and more effective chemotherapies.
