EGFR feedback-inhibition by Ran-binding protein 6 is disrupted in cancer

The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) signalling is regulated at multiple levels. Here the authors show that the importin RanBP6 acts as a tumor suppressor in Glioblastoma and  regulates EGFR signalling through promoting translocation of STAT3 to the nuclei and repressing EGFR transcription.
