Activation of tyrosine kinases is an important factor during cancer development. Axl, one of the receptor tyrosine kinases, binds to the specific ligand growth arrest-specific gene 6 (Gas6), which encodes a vitamin K-dependent gamma-carboxyglutamyl protein. Although many receptor tyrosine kinases

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is characterized by impaired efferocytosis and aberrant activation of innate immunity. We asked if shedding of MER receptor tyrosine kinase (MerTK) and AXL into soluble (s) ectodomains was related to immunological and clinical aspects of SLE.
Lung cancer has long been one of the most serious types of malignant tumor, and is associated with high incidence and mortality rates. Despite advancements in the comprehensive treatment of the disease, particularly with targeted therapeutic agents, there has been

Malignant gliomas remain incurable brain tumors because of their diffuse-invasive growth. So far, the genetic and molecular events underlying gliomagenesis are poorly understood. In this study, we have identified the receptor tyrosine kinase Axl as a mediator of glioma growth
Acquired resistance to conventional and targeted therapies is becoming a major hindrance in cancer management. It is increasingly clear that cancer cells are able to evolve and rewire canonical signalling pathways to their advantage, thus evading cell death and promoting
