Abstract:Cancers are known to be heterogeneous diseases. Tumor cell proliferation and the development of metastatic disease involve the activation of multiple, sometime parallel and often compensatory signal transduction pathways. We have developed a cell-based assay platform that measures specific kinase activity within cells, thus allowing us to conduct pathway-based analyses. This platform can be used for 1) discovering new biomarkers and 2) guiding the design of new therapeutic strategies in personalzed medicine, s… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
