KDR and cancer: In this review, we emphasize the current concept initially postulated by F. Mollinedo and C. Gajate on the importance of lipid rafts in cancer survival, death and metastasis by describing representative signalling pathways, including the IGF system and the PI3K/AKT, Fas/CD95, VEGF/VEGFR2 and CD44 signalling pathways, and we also discuss the concept of CASMER (cluster of apoptotic signalling molecule‐enriched rafts), coined, originally introduced and further advanced by F. Mollinedo and C. Gajate in the period 2005–2010.
