Abstract excerpt
Therapeutic inhibitors are being developed against the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) pathway, the deregulation of which drives tumor growth and survival in many cancers. There are eight PI3Ks in mammals divided into three classes. Class IA PI3Ks (p110alpha, p110beta, and p110delta) are critical for cell growth and survival, with the p110alpha isoform implicated as the most important in carcinomas. In this...
