Abstract excerpt
KRAS inhibitors are reshaping the cancer-treatment landscape; however, durable responses remain limited by drug-tolerant persister cells that survive initial therapy and drive relapse. We show that KRAS-mutant pancreatic and lung cancer cells enter a reversible drug-tolerant (TR) state upon KRAS inhibition, marked by proliferative arrest and extensive metabolic adaptation. Integrated proteomic and metabolomic...
