Cracks in the armor of therapy-resistant cancer cells
A new study shows that cancer cells across multiple lineages can adopt the same therapy-resistant cell state, enabling broad resistance to targeted therapies. However, the resulting cell circuitry also results in a vulnerability that can be exploited to induce a form of cell death called ferroptosis.Read more
