Scientists have uncovered how leukemia cells manage to escape one of the most commonly used treatments. Over time, these cancer cells subtly change the shape of their mitochondria to avoid dying when the drug tries to kill them. By identifying the protein that controls this shape-shifting, researchers were able to block it in mice, making the treatment powerful again and dramatically extending survival.
