A mechanism for increased sensitivity of acute myeloid leukemia to mitotoxic drugs

Abstract excerpt

Mitochondria play a central and multifunctional role in the progression of tumorigenesis. Although many recent studies have demonstrated correlations between mitochondrial function and genetic makeup or originating tissue, it remains unclear why some cancers are more susceptible to mitocans (anticancer drugs that target mitochondrial function to mediate part or all of their effect). Moreover, fundamental...
