Asparagine depletion is a cornerstone of treatment for Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL), yet leukemic cells often develop resistance doi.org/10.1172/jci.insight.… Here, Rodney Claude @ScienceGuyRod, Sankalp Srivastava @darwinpwndyou, Ji Zhang @JiZhangLab & team @IUMedSchool explore the mechanisms for L-asparaginase resistance and establish a strategy that prevents leukemia cells from producing their own amino acid—the treatment synergizes with traditional chemoagents in vivo. #ALL
