Our scientists significantly contributed to the deconvolution of the mechanisms of signal transduction, such as RTK and endocytosis, which is of pivotal importance for the complete understanding of the biological issues and crucial to provide powerful tools to hinder this mechanism. More recently, we have been focusing on the characterization of the cell signaling triggered by microenvironmental signals in cancer cells.
