Deregulated energetics is a hallmark of malignancy, but metabolic heterogeneity among individual tumors is unknown. A study by Caro et al. in this issue of Cancer Cell demonstrates that a subset of lymphomas is defined by reliance on mitochondrial energy generation and is selectively killed when this pathway is impaired.
能量代谢失调是恶性肿瘤的一个标志,但个体肿瘤之间的代谢异质性尚不清楚。Caro 等人在本期《癌细胞》杂志上的一项研究表明,一部分淋巴瘤依赖于线粒体能量生成,当这条通路受到损伤时,该亚群会被选择性杀死。
