First-generation EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR TKI) provide significant clinical benefit in patients with advanced EGFR-mutant (EGFRm(+)) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Patients ultimately develop disease progression, often driven by acquisition of a second T790M TKI resistance mutation. AZD9291 is novel oral, potent, and selective third-generation irreversible inhibitor both EGFRm(+) sensitizing mutants that spares wild-type EGFR. This mono-anilino-pyrimidine compound...
Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitors have been used clinically in the treatment of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients harboring sensitizing (or activating) mutations for a number years. Despite encouraging clinical efficacy with these agents, many resistance develops leading to disease progression. In most cases, this is form T790M mutation. addition, EGFR wild type inhibition inherent agents can lead dose limiting toxicities rash and diarrhea. We describe herein...
The fibroblast growth factor (FGF) signaling axis is increasingly implicated in tumorigenesis and chemoresistance.

ABSTRACT Epithelial cells within the mammary gland undergo developmental programmes of proliferation and apoptosis during pregnancy cycle. After weaning, secretory epithelial are removed by apoptosis. To determine whether members Bcl-2 gene family could be involved in regulating this process, we have examined changes their expression occur apoptotic program vivo. Bax Bcl-x were evenly expressed throughout development. However, Bak Bad was increased late lactation, proteins present time...
Abstract Epithelial cell survival is dependent on extracellular signals provided by both soluble factors and adhesion. In the mammary gland, extensive apoptosis of epithelial cells occurs rapidly when lactation ceases, but mechanism induction not known. tissue culture, require laminin as a ligand specific β1 integrins are necessary to suppress apoptosis. To explore possibility that dynamic changes in cell–matrix interactions contribute onset during involution vivo, detailed...
