## Abstract Neuroblastoma is the most common extracranial solid tumor of childhood. Focal adhesion kinase (FAK) is an intracellular kinase that is overexpressed in a number of human tumors including neuroblastoma, and regulates both cellular adhesion and survival. We have studied the effects of FAK
Nocodazole, a microtubule-disrupting agent, induced apoptosis in Rat-1 cells, as indicated by changes in cell morphology, DNA fragmentation, and eventual cell death. During nocodazole-induced apoptosis, normally Β―at cells became rounded in shape and detached from the extracellular matrix. These morp
