Comparison of growth factor signalling pathway utilisation in cultured normal melanocytes and melanoma cell lines

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K-PKB), mitogen activated protein kinase (MEK-ERK) and the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR- p70S6K), are thought to regulate many aspects of tumour cell proliferation and survival. We have ex...
