## Abstract The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) family comprehends four different tyrosine kinases (EGFR, ErbBβ2, ErbBβ3, and ErbBβ4) that are activated following binding to epidermal growth factor (EGF)βlike growth factors. It has been long established that the EGFR system is involved in t
## Abstract Prostate cancer (PCa) epithelial cells require a number of factors to facilitate their establishment and growth at a distant site of metastasis. Their ability to adapt to their microenvironment, proliferate and recruit an underlying stroma is integral to the survival and growth of the m
## Abstract Caveolinβ1 (Cavβ1), a member of the caveolin family, regulates caveolaeβassociated signaling proteins, which are involved in many biological processes, including cancer development. Cavβ1 was found to exert a complex and ambiguous role as oncogene or tumor suppressor depending on the ce
