ERIC 2024 | The new concept of glutamine addiction in CLL and how it may contribute to drug resistance

Eric Eldering, PhD, Amsterdam UMC Cancer Center, Amsterdam, Netherlands, discusses the concept of glutamine addiction in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). He explains how CLL cells in the lymph nodes become reliant on glutamine for energy and survival, which affects drug resistance. Blocking glutamine import could reduce this resistance and improve treatment outcomes. This interview took place at the 2024 European Research Initiative on CLL (ERIC) Meeting in Barcelona, Spain.
