Targeted PI3K/AKT-hyperactivation induces cell death in chronic lymphocytic leukemia

Current therapeutic approaches in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) focus on the suppression of PI3K/AKT signaling. Here, the authors show that CLL cells are vulnerable to hyperactivation of the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway and suggest this as a promising concept for CLL therapy.
