TLDR
The canonical ligand‐induced EGFR signaling pathway is reviewed, with particular emphasis to its regulation by endocytosis and subversion in human tumors, and the most recent advances in uncovering noncanonical EGFR functions in stress‐induced trafficking, autophagy, and energy metabolism are focused on.

Cell signaling by receptor-tyrosine kinases

TL;DR: Understanding of the complex signaling networks downstream from RTKs and how alterations in these networks are translated into cellular responses provides an important context for therapeutically countering the effects of pathogenic RTK mutations in cancer and other diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Regulation of cancer cell metabolism

TL;DR: Interest in the topic of tumour metabolism has waxed and waned over the past century, but it has become clear that many of the signalling pathways that are affected by genetic mutations and the tumour microenvironment have a profound effect on core metabolism, making this topic once again one of the most intense areas of research in cancer biology.

Gefitinib plus best supportive care in previously treated patients with refractory advanced non-small-cell lung cancer: results from a randomised, placebo-controlled, multicentre study (Iressa Survival Evaluation in Lung Cancer)

TL;DR: Treatment with gefitinib was not associated with significant improvement in survival in either coprimary population, and there was pronounced heterogeneity in survival outcomes between groups of patients, with some evidence of benefit among never-smokers and patients of Asian origin.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular mechanism and physiological functions of clathrin-mediated endocytosis

TL;DR: Clathrin-mediated endocytosis is the endocytic portal into cells through which cargo is packaged into vesicles with the aid of a clathrin coat and is fundamental to neurotransmission, signal transduction and the regulation of many plasma membrane activities and is thus essential to higher eukaryotic life.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fundamentals of cancer metabolism

TL;DR: A conceptual framework to understand how and why metabolic reprogramming occurs in tumor cells, and the mechanisms linking altered metabolism to tumorigenesis and metastasis will progressively support the development of new strategies to treat human cancer.
