It's well-established that mutations and hyperactivations of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) are leading causes of cancer development. Indeed, tyrosine kinase inhibitors have revolutionized the treatment of certain cancers, but existing TKI drugs are far from magic bullets. To investigate how RTKs are altered in cancer cells, how TKIs modulate cancer biology, and how cancer cells develop resistance to TKI drugs, researchers around the world turn to GenScript for high-performing reagents to accelerate their research.
How can we translate our understanding of basic cancer biology into identifying new compounds with therapeutic potential? Translational research that investigates drug candidates in disease-relevant cell-based assays and animal models is critical to bridge the gap from bench to bedside. The following recent reports exemplify the approach of probing the effects of experimental compounds within appropriate pathological and physiological contexts:
