Targeting the Nuclear Import Receptor Kpnβ1 as an Anticancer Therapeutic.

abstract：:The EGF receptor (EGFR) regulates important cellular processes including proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. EGFR is frequently overexpressed in a range of cancers and is associated with disease progression and treatment. Clinical studies have shown that EGFR mutations confer tumor sensitivity to tyrosine k...
