BRAF activation by metabolic stress promotes glycolysis sensitizing NRAS Q61 -mutated melanomas to targeted therapy

Targeted therapeutic options for NRAS-mutant melanoma are limited. Here, the authors show that under metabolic stress NRAS-mutant melanoma cells activate a BRAF-dependent glycolysis pathway for survival, leading to improve efficacy of sorafenib when combined with glycolysis inhibitors.
