Cyclin-dependent Kinase 5 and Neurodegenerative Diseases

Editorial: Protein kinase inhibitors in neurodegeneration and cancer targeted therapies

“…Numerous kinases, numbering in the hundreds, participate in overlapping and complex processes such as cancer initiation, proliferation and malignancy. Kinases present a challenge in cancer and various disorders such as neurodegenerative disorders ( Dell’Aversana et al, 2024 ; Sengupta et al, 2024 ; Song et al, 2024 ). In this Research Topic, we explored the involvement of kinases in the initiation and advancement of different cancers and neurodegenerative disorders.…”
