A secreted PTEN phosphatase that enters cells to alter signaling and survival

BD Hopkins, B Fine, N Steinbach, M Dendy, Z Rapp… - Science, 2013 - science.org
Phosphatase and tensin homolog on chromosome ten (PTEN) is a tumor suppressor and
an antagonist of the phosphoinositide-3 kinase (PI3K) pathway. We identified a 576–amino …

Insulin–PI3K signalling: an evolutionarily insulated metabolic driver of cancer

BD Hopkins, MD Goncalves, LC Cantley - Nature Reviews …, 2020 - nature.com
Cancer is driven by incremental changes that accumulate, eventually leading to oncogenic
transformation. Although genetic alterations dominate the way cancer biologists think about …
