Inhibition of RPS6K reveals context-dependent Akt activity in luminal breast cancer cells.

Aberrant signaling through insulin (Ins) and insulin-like growth factor I (IGF1) receptors contribute to the risk and advancement of many cancer types by activating cell survival cascades. Similarities between these pathways have thus far prevented the development of pharmacological interventions th...
