Eph and ephrins in epithelial stem cell niches and cancer.

Cell Adhesion & Migration
Maria Genander

Abstract

The family of Eph tyrosine kinase receptors is an important part of signaling pathways involved in development, tissue homeostasis and tumorigenesis. Binding and activation of the receptors by their ligands, the ephrins, result in bidirectional signaling into both receptor and ligand expressing cells. Adult stem cell niches and tumors frequently express receptors and ligands, although their function is only beginning to be understood. Thus, Eph receptors and ephrins have become important molecules for understanding basic biological processes as well as tumorigenesis, and are promising targets for potential therapeutic intervention in human disease.

Cell Signaling by Tyrosine Kinases

Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) are the high-affinity cell surface receptors for many polypeptide growth factors, cytokines, and hormones. RTKs have been shown not only to be key regulators of normal cellular processes but also to have a critical role in the development and progression of many types of cancer. Discover the latest research on cell signaling and RTK here.
