Nov. 11, 2024 A team of scientists has used a novel approach to identify protein degraders that target Pin1, a protein involved in pancreatic cancer ...
Nov. 11, 2024 Researchers have discovered a new way in which RAS genes, which are commonly mutated in cancer, may drive tumor growth beyond their well-known role ...
Oct. 2, 2024 A common mutation in the KRAS gene is associated with improved overall survival in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) compared with other variants, in part because the mutation appears to lead ...
