title: Selective blockade of transport via SERCA inhibition: the answer for oncogenic forms of Notch?
abstract: NOTCH1, which is frequently mutated in T cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia, has been an elusive therapeutic target. In this issue of Cancer Cell, Roti and colleagues demonstrate that inhibiting SERCA calcium pumps preferentially impairs the maturation of the most common class of oncogenic Notch1 mutants, thus uncovering a potential therapeutic avenue.
