PIM kinase is a type of protein kinase that plays a key role in regulating various cellular processes, including cell growth, survival, and differentiation. Research in this area focuses on understanding the function of PIM kinases in normal cellular physiology and their potential role in cancer development and progression. PIM kinases have been implicated in a variety of cancers and are considered potential therapeutic targets for cancer treatment. Studies are ongoing to investigate the molecular mechanisms of PIM kinase activation, their downstream signaling pathways, and the development of novel inhibitors to target these kinases in cancer therapy.
