BUFFALO, NY- November 27, 2023 – A recent review paper was published in Oncotarget's Volume 14 on July 1, 2023, entitled, “Targeting Ras with protein engineering.” Ras proteins are small ...
Protein systems make up the complex signaling pathways that control whether a cell divides or, in some cases, metastasizes. Ras proteins have long been the focus of cancer research because of ...
Cancer-causing Ras Protein may be Its Own Nemesis A cancer-causing protein can also help fight tumours it causes, according to a new study by scientists at Tel Aviv University (TAU) in Israel.
Ras proteins are molecular switches that decide if and when cells divide inside our bodies. An impairment of their function may result in the formation of a tumor. The process of switching the ...
Ras proteins act as a molecular "switch," flipping between active and inactive modes; they play a critical role in cell signaling and growth regulation and are often mutated in cancers.
