New RAS Gene Discovery Unveils Hidden Pathway Driving Cancer Growth

These findings could pave the way for new treatment approaches for cancers driven by RAS mutations. Researchers at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and their collaborators have uncovered a novel mechanism by which RAS genes—commonly mutated in cancers—can promote tumor growth, extending beyond their established function in cell surface signaling. Mutant RAS, they found, [...]
