Focal adhesion kinase (FAK) is a central component of focal adhesions that regulate cancer

(GBM), a fast growing brain tumor that has a poor prognosis. Treating GBM cells with the FAK
inhibitor PF-573228 induced a proliferative arrest and increased cell size. PF-573228 also reduced
the growth of GBM ...
