Prevention of ERK Nuclear Translocation Blocks Cancer Proliferation in Animal Models
A team of cell biologists has shown that the cancer promoting effects of ERK dysregulation can be blocked by low molecular weight drugs that prevent translocation of this kinase from the cells' cytoplasm into the nucleus. More...15 Apr 2015

NanoString and MD Anderson Collaborate on Development of Novel Multi-Omic Expression Profiling Assays for Cancer
The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center and NanoString Technologies will partner on development of a revolutionary new type of assay—simultaneously profiling gene and protein expression, initially aiming to discover and validate biomarker signatures for immuno-oncology and to extend targeted therapeutics programs.
