Abstract

In Nature Medicine, Pollyea et al. (2018) recently reported a remarkable overall response of newly diagnosed elderly acute myeloid leukemia patients to a venetoclax and azacitidine combination in a new clinical trial. This treatment reduced succinate dehydrogenase glutathionylation, impaired the tricarboxylic acid cycle, and depleted ATP in leukemia stem cells.
