Abstract
Hotspot mutations in IDH1 and IDH2 cause a differentiation block that can promote tumorigenesis. Two recent papers reported that small molecules targeting mutant IDH1 or mutant IDH2 release this differentiation block and/or impede tumor growth, providing a proof-of-concept that mutant IDHs are therapeutically targetable and that their effects are reversible.Entities:
