  The Gene′s Function in Regular Cellular Signalling Pathways
  Author(s): Veronese Dwan*
  
  In the realm of cancer research, few genes have garnered as much attention and significance as KRAS. KRAS mutations are among the most common genetic alterations found in human cancers, particularly in pancreatic, colorectal and lung cancers. The discovery of these mutations has revolutionized our understanding of cancer biology and opened new avenues for targeted therapies. In this article, we will delve into the world of KRAS mutations, exploring their impact on cancer development and discussing the recent advancements in therapeutic approaches. KRAS, an acronym for Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog, is a proto-oncogene that plays a vital role in cell signalling pathways. This gene encodes a protein involved in transmitting signals from cell surface receptors to the cell nucleus, thereby regulating critical cellular functions such as proliferat.. Read More»
