Vertical inhibition of the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway is synergistic in breast cancer.

TL;DR: The data suggest that a combination of Akt and mTOR inhibitors have greater antitumor activity in breast cancer cells, which may be a viable approach to treat patients.

Identification of the Serine Biosynthesis Pathway as a Critical Component of BRAF Inhibitor Resistance of Melanoma, Pancreatic, and Non–Small Cell Lung Cancer Cells

TL;DR: The novel aspects of this study are the direct identification of serine biosynthesis as a critical mechanism of BRAF V600E inhibitor resistance and the first successful example of using gemcitabine + BRAFis in combination to kill previously drug-resistant cancer cells.

Acquired Resistance to Clinical Cancer Therapy: A Twist in Physiological Signaling

TL;DR: The molecular mechanisms of how conventional physiological signal transduction confers to acquired drug resistance in cancer patients are discussed, particularly on protooncogenic receptor kinase inhibition-elicited tumor cell adaptation through two major core downstream signaling cascades, the PI3K/Akt and MAPK pathways.

A multiple testing procedure for clinical trials.

TL;DR: The overall size of the procedure is shown to be controlled with virtually the same accuracy as the single sample chi-square test based on N(m1 + m2) observations and the power is found to bevirtually the same.
