Scientists have developed a new strategy against acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that pushes cancer cells to keep working even after their energy supply has been disrupted, causing them to die from metabolic stress.

Scientists have developed a new strategy against acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that pushes cancer cells to keep working even after their energy supply has been disrupted, causing them to die from metabolic stress. The study, published in the journal Molecular Cancer, reports promising results from laboratory and animal experiments.

This approach provides a potential new therapeutic strategy for patients with relapsed or refractory AML, particularly those with TP53‑mutated disease, who currently have very poor outcomes and limited treatment options.
