We are focusing on a few key molecular pathways including; 1) Polycomb - mediated epigenetic gene silencing in the tumor initiation, maintenance, and invasion, 2) c - Met (receptor tyrosine kinase)
signal transduction pathways in stemness and migration of these tumor cells, 3) Novel mitogenic signaling pathways that are specific to GSCs, and 4) Identification of radio - and chemo - sensitizing pathway to maximize therapeutic efficacy.
We describe assembly and function of a complete synthetic
signal transduction pathway in plants that links input from computationally re-designed PBPs to a visual response.
