Theranostic Imaging of the Kinases and Proteases that Modulate Cell Death and Survival

<p>Several signaling cascades are involved in cell death, with a significant amount of crosstalk between them. Despite the complexity of these cascades several key pro-survival and pro-death players have been identified. These include PI3-kinase, AKT and caspase-3. Here we review the approache...
