Pyruvate as a Pivot Point for Oncogene-Induced Senescence

Regulation of pyruvate fate is an important determinant of anabolic versus catabolic metabolism. A new report in the journal Nature by Kaplon et al. suggests that driving pyruvate oxidation can thwart tumor growth in BRAF-driven melanoma by inducing oncogene-induced senescence, a finding that might...
