Pyruvate Kinase M, AMPK and Cancer

Two important concepts in cancer research are pyruvate Kinase M (PKM) and AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). In particular, the isoform M2 of pyruvate kinase (PKM2) generates much interest. This is because of the potential roles it plays in inflammation. PKM2 is a...
