Macropinocytosis is an important mechanism of internalizing extracellular materials and dissolved molecules in eukaryotic cells. Macropinocytosis has a dual effect on cancer cells …
Background Protein kinase CK2 inhibition has long been considered as an attractive anti- cancer strategy based on the following considerations: CK2 is a pro-survival kinase, it is …
The fate of a viral infection in the host begins with various types of cellular responses, such as abortive, productive, latent, and destructive infections. Apoptosis, necroptosis, and …

CK2 is a constitutively active Ser/Thr protein kinase which phosphorylates hundreds of substrates. Since they are primarily related to survival and proliferation pathways, the best …
Specificity is a limiting factor when using small-molecule inhibitors to study protein kinase signalling. Since inhibitor-resistant kinase mutants (ie, drug-resistant alleles) remain active …
Drug-resistant parasitic nematodes pose a grave threat to plants, animals, and humans. An innovative paradigm for treating parasitic nematodes is emphasized in this opinion. This …
