Inducing cancer indolence by targeting mitochondrial Complex I is potentiated by blocking macrophage-mediated adaptive responses

Lack of respiratory complex I is a hallmark of oncocytomas. Here the authors show that inactivation of this complex via knockout of the NDUFS3 subunit or using metformin, converts tumors from an aggressive phenotype into low-proliferative oncocytomas, which can be further inhibited by targeting pro-...
