New publication from the laboratories of Drs.Kirk Staschke and Ron Wek, featured on the cover of Science Signaling! science.org/doi/10.1126/scis…
In this work, Dr. Cordova and colleagues showed that activation of the ISR, particularly through the kinase GCN2, is required for prostate cancer cell survival and tumor growth. Inhibition of GCN2 limited cell growth, but also induced tumor senescence through p53 signaling.
