It has been established that disturbances of intracellular signaling pathways strongly contribute to the oncologic process. Indeed, phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K) became a key target in cancer therapy, due to its high frequency of mutation and/or gain of function of its catalytic subunits in cancer cells. In this context, we investigated the in vitro and in vivo effects of a new PI3Kα inhibitor, BYL719 (Novartis Pharma), on bone cells and its thera...
