Autophagy inhibition elicits emergence from metastatic dormancy by inducing and stabilizing Pfkfb3 expression
Cancer cells can use autophagy as a mechanism of surviving from external stresses. Here, the authors show that Pfkfb3, a glycolytic gene, is expressed in metastatic breast cancer cells but not in dormant cells that demonstrate features of autophagy.
