Co-activation of AMPK and mTORC1 Induces Cytotoxicity in Acute Myeloid Leukemia

AMPK is a master regulator of cellular metabolism that exerts either oncogenic or tumor suppressor activity depending on context. Here, we report that the specific AMPK agonist GSK621 selectively kills acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells but spares normal hematopoietic progenitors. This differential...
