Question
Chapter 15.4, Problem 2CS
Summary Introduction
To determine: Whether the drug used in the inhibition of protein kinase can be used to combat cancer.
Introduction: The malfunctioning in the signaling pathway of cell division causes irregularities in the growth of the cell. The uncontrolled growth of the cell leads to cancer.. The agents that cause cancer are categorized under “carcinogens.”
