Abstract
Dependence on glycolysis under aerobic conditions, a frequent metabolic derangement in cancer cells, suggests a therapeutic opportunity. Now, through chemical genetics, CDK8, a kinase associated with the Mediator transcriptional coactivator complex, has emerged as an upstream inducer of glycolysis and a possible target for anticancer drug discovery.Entities:
