Synergy between PPARgamma ligands and platinum-based drugs in cancer.

abstract：:Specific phosphoinositide lipids promote cell growth and cancer. In this issue of Cancer Cell, Fayngerts and colleagues demonstrate that the TIPE3 protein enhances PtdIns(4,5)P2 and PtdIns(3,4,5)P3, is overexpressed in certain cancers, and promotes tumorigenesis. TIPE3 can act as a lipid transfer protein and may const...
