PI3K Pathway Inhibition with NVP-BEZ235 Hinders Glycolytic Metabolism in Glioblastoma Multiforme Cells
Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most lethal primary brain cancer that lacks effective molecular targeted therapies. The PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway is activated in 90% of all Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) tumors. To gain insight into the impact of the PI3K pathway on GBM metabolism, we treated U87MG GBM cells w...
