  "summary": "The Na+/K+-ATPase consumes a substantial portion of cellular ATP to maintain essential electrochemical gradients, yet its role in regulating cancer cell proliferation and phenotypic plasticity remains complicated by its dual function as an ion transporter and a scaffolding receptor. Here, we investigate the physiological consequences of pharmacological NKA blockade using digoxin in K562 human…",
