Abstract excerpt
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) harboring IDH1 mutations presents unique metabolic vulnerabilities that remain incompletely addressed by current targeted therapies. In this study, we demonstrate that IDH1-mutant AML cells are markedly more sensitive to cuproptosis induced by the copper ionophore elesclomol (ES), compared to their wild-type counterparts. While ES impairs mitochondrial function in both cell types,...
