Aurora kinases play a vital part in successful mitosis and cell division. Aberrant Aurora-A and -B expression is commonly seen in various types of tumors. Small molecule Aurora inhibitors have already entered clinical trials. Aurora-A amplification has been shown to be associated with breast tumors from BRCA2-mutation carriers and such patients might therefore be candidates for treatment with Aurora kinase...
