New research published in @JExpMed from @DanaFarber’s @JunQiLab and collaborators reveals that AKT inhibitors synergize with EP300 degraders to suppress osteosarcoma growth in vitro and in vivo. These agents positively combine across cancer cells in a manner dependent on control of protein synthesis.
