DOI: 10.1038/s41388-021-01658-z
Abstract: Previous work has suggested androgen receptor (AR) signaling mediates prostate cancer progression in part through the modulation of autophagy. However, clinical trials testing autophagy inhibition using chloroquine derivatives in men with castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC)… read more here.

DOI: 10.1158/1538-7445.am2020-1430
Abstract: Background-The canonical PI3K/Akt pathway is hyperactive in a variety of cancers including ovarian cancer (OVCa). Using baculovirus-expressed, FPLC-purified enzymes, we previously demonstrated that Calcium/Calmodulin-dependent CaM Kinase Kinase 2 (CaMKK2) activates the oncogene Akt by direct… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s10020-025-01373-5
Abstract: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a fatal lung disease characterized by aberrant fibroblast activation and extracellular matrix deposition. Emerging evidence implicates mitochondrial dysfunction in IPF pathogenesis. Although CAMKK2 has been implicated in mitochondrial function associated… read more here.
