Limited progress has been made in the treatment of advanced-stage pediatric solid tumors despite accelerated pace cancer discovery over last decade. Tyrosine kinase inhibition is one tractable therapeutic modality for treating human malignancy. However, little known about kinases critical to development or maintenance many such as Ewing sarcoma. Using a fluorescent, bead-based technology profile activated tyrosine kinases, we identified focal adhesion (FAK, PTK2) candidate target FAK...
Rates of many sexually transmitted diseases remain higher among adolescents than any other age group. The associations between abuse experiences and risky sexual behaviors suggest that exploring the relationships adolescents' history condom use beliefs is warranted. Females (N = 725) attending an adolescent clinic reported demographic characteristics, about use, behaviors, or molestation history. Those reporting (23%) were more likely to think condoms interfered with pleasure less important...

Abstract Aberrant activation of tyrosine kinases is a frequent driver event in cancer. Nevertheless, for many tumors, the critical kinase abnormalities have yet to be discovered. Emerging technologies are enabling rapid profiling high-throughput format not only expression, but activation. We leveraged bead-based approach phosphorylation Ewing sarcoma and identified focal adhesion (FAK) as top candidate. second most common bone tumor diagnosed children. Current treatment de novo disease...
