Researchers at the NIH have discovered a new way that mutant RAS genes contribute to cancer, beyond their well-known role in surface signaling. This process drives uncontrolled tumor growth, offering fresh insights into how RAS mutations fuel cancer progression. This study is the first to reveal an entirely new mechanism by which mutated RAS genes promote cancer, with promising implications for improving treatment strategies.
