Deskripsi

The ERK signalling pathway regulates homeostasis of the intestinal epithelium. Here the authors identify two modes of ERK activity generated independently from EGFR and ErbB2 receptor and whose balance in cancer is shifted by Wnt pathway activation, resulting in enhanced sensitivity to EGFR inhibitors.
