Role of PAK2 promoting intrinsic tumor cell motility and worsening patient outcomes in non-small cell lung cancer

Cell motility is a process tightly linked to tumor metastasis. The p21-activated kinases (PAKs) are modulators of cell motility commonly overexpressed and hyperactive in various malignancies. We investigated whether increased PAK2 expression and phosphorylation levels enhance cancer cell motility,...
