Significance: Some cells in aggressive brain cancers can evade current therapies by switching from the standard molecular mechanisms that regulate their growth and survival to an alternative one. In this way, they become resistant to therapies that target the standard molecular mechanism. Knowing this ability allowed us to define the alternative mechanism and to identify treatments that target the cells that use it. Simply put, we discovered an escape route that cancer cells use to evade therapy and then we found drugs that block it.
