FGF Signaling in Imatinib-Resistant GIST

Kinase inhibitors such as imatinib have dramatically improved outcomes for patients with gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST), but many patients develop resistance to these treatments. Although in some patients this event corresponds with mutations i...

A Urokinase Receptor-Bim Signaling Axis Emerges During EGFR Inhibitor Resistance in Mutant EGFR Glioblastoma

EGFR is the most common genetically altered oncogene in glioblastoma (GBM), but small molecule EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have failed to yield durable clinical benefit. Here we show that in two novel model systems of acquired resistance to ...

Bim Suppression in EGFR TKI-Resistant Glioblastoma

EGFR is the most common genetically altered oncogene in glioblastoma (GBM), but small-molecule EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) have failed to yield durable clinical benefit. Here, we show that in two novel model systems of acquired resistance to...

Akt inhibition enhances expansion of potent tumor-specific lymphocytes with memory cell characteristics

Adoptive cell therapy (ACT) using autologous tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) can result in complete regression of advanced cancer in some patients, but the efficacy of this potentially curative therapy might be limited by poor persistence of TIL a...

Akt Inhibition Improves T-cell Antitumor Immunity

Adoptive cell therapy (ACT) using autologous tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) results in complete regression of advanced cancer in some patients, but the efficacy of this potentially curative therapy may be limited by poor persistence of TIL after...
