Overcoming Chemotherapy Resistance in Head and Neck Cancer using PI3K Inhibition
Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is almost uniformly fatal when it recurs following definitive treatment with chemoradiation. To address this critical therapeutic gap, our team investigated inhibition of the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) pathway.
Rein in or Ruin: Ubiquitylation of CDC42 Ensures Membrane Homeostasis and Regulates Brain Development
The small Rho GTPase CDC42 drives actin polymerization and membrane protrusion. Unchecked cytoskeletal remodeling can push tumor cells toward EMT or even cell death. Thus, elucidating how cells both activate and quench CDC42 signaling to maintain membrane homeostasis has been a central question.
