Targeting protein kinases for cancer therapy /

An expert guide to targeting protein kinases in cancer therapy. Research has shown that protein kinases can instigate the formation and spread of cancer when they transmit faulty signals inside cells. Because of this fact, pharma-ceutical scientists have targeted kinases for intensive study, and hav...
