Article Title: IDH1/2 mutations and BCL-2 dependence: An unexpected chink in AML's armour
Abstract: There is a pressing need to develop novel, mechanism-based therapeutic approaches that can be used to improve therapies for genetically defined tumor subtypes. Chan and colleagues have demonstrated recently that BCL-2 inhibitors can target IDH1/2 mutant cancers through a mutant-specific dependency in metabolic regulation.
