Abstract excerpt
Signal transduction and modulation represent central mechanisms in cellular processes such as cell-cycle regulation, oncogenesis, and apoptosis. The aim of this study was to determine the prognostic relevance of two kinases important in the regulation of cell proliferation and apoptosis in 135 colorectal cancer cases: AKT and extracellular regulated kinases (ERK1/2). We investigated the relationship of...
