Glucose metabolism determines resistance of cancer cells to bioenergetic crisis after cytochrome‐c release

Abstract Many anticancer drugs activate caspases via the mitochondrial apoptosis pathway. Activation of this pathway triggers a concomitant bioenergetic crisis caused by the release of cytochrome‐c (cyt‐c). Cancer cells are able to evade these processes by altering metabolic and caspase activation p...
