(1−3) Leveraging the body’s own immune system to recognize and combat cancer cells, immunotherapy offers a promising alternative to traditional therapies such as chemotherapy and radiation.

Scientific discoveries build on prior research. As new discoveries are made, they often lead to newer research directions in a virtuous cycle. How do scientists know where to begin? How can they focus their efforts on ideas that are starting to gain traction while keeping track of well-covered areas?

Introduction Click to copy section linkSection link copied! Kinases are enzymes that catalyze the transfer of a phosphate group from a high-energy molecule, such as adenosine triphosphate (ATP), to a specific substrate molecule, typically a protein, lipid, or carbohydrate. (1) This process is known as phosphorylation and plays a crucial role in cellular signaling pathways, regulating various cellular functions including metabolism, growth, differentiation, and cell death.
