- abstract
- Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is an aggressive cancer of the bone marrow characterized by poor prognosis and resistance to chemotherapy. The way in which cancerous cells are able to metabolically adapt to various physiological and metabolic stressors allows them to thrive and proliferate. A leading candidate to coordinate this oxidative metabolic shift is the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK).
