Significance of the nuclear Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 Receptor in Cancer

This present study was carried out at London South Bank University. The focal point of the study was my passion to learn more about cancer and to have a better understanding of nuclear insulin-like growth factor receptor 1 association with oncology. This study was planned to be an experimental study, in which I was supposed to conduct co-immunoprecipitation and Western blot experiments, as well as kinase assay, in order to validate previous bioinformatic results by Dr. Aleem’s team. However, the major problem that I faced was due to the current Covid-19 pandemic. It was not possible to go to the lab due to the lockdown. We, therefore, decided to do a literature review instead. The objective was to make this study as accurate as possible. I apologize, in advance, for any error found which were certainly not knowingly made. Above all, the purpose of the study will be served if it becomes source of knowledge for general public.
