This NIH-funded project by the National Cancer Institute focuses on uncovering how pancreatic cancer cells regulate KRAS protein dosage via translation control, potentially revealing new cancer treatment targets.
Description
The project aims to discover novel factors that drive KRAS mRNA translation through its 5ยด untranslated region in pancreatic cancer to understand post-transcriptional mechanisms of gene regulation and identify therapeutic interventions.
