FLCN deficient tumours may be sensitive to radiotherapy

Autophagy is the process through which cells recycle proteins and organelles for energy, and is often dysregulated in kidney cancers. A recent study shows that autophagy is increased in FLCN-null renal carcinoma cells, and that these cells are more sensitive to irradiation (IR) than…
