Dual targeting of polyamine synthesis and uptake in diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas

Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) is an almost incurable malignant childhood brain tumor. Here, the authors show that the polyamine synthetic pathway is activated in DIPG and that the dual targeting of polyamine synthesis and uptake results in prolonged survival in animal models.
