Study reveals insights into tyrosine kinases for cancer treatments

Summary: A study led by Yale pharmacologist Benjamin Turk focused on understanding the roles of tyrosine kinases, crucial for cell communication and often implicated in cancer. The research, published in Nature, developed tools to identify kinase functions and signaling patterns. With 78 tyrosine kinases in humans, the study revealed insights into kinase activity and potential cancer treatments. Understanding kinase specificity is key for developing effective therapies.
