Oncolytic viruses selectively kill tumour cells and induce anti-tumour immunity. Here, the AUs demonstrate the anti-viral effect of the mevalonate pathway on oncolytic virus M1 in refractory cancer cells and provide evidence for a combination strategy of targeting the mevalonate pathway for potentiating oncolytic virus therapy.
