RAS‐targeted cancer therapy: Advances in drugging specific mutations
Personalized therapeutic strategy targeting specific mut‐RAS‐induced cancers is essential. Cancer type, RAS mutation type, activation of downstream pathways, and clinicopathological background should be comprehensively considered when designing strategies for drug combinations.

ABSTRACT Sphingosine 1‐phosphate (S1P) is a bioactive sphingolipid metabolite, functioning as a signalling molecule in diverse cellular processes. Over the past few decades, studies of S1P signalling have revealed that the physiological activity of S1P largely depends on S1P metabolizing enzymes, transporters and receptors on the plasma membrane, as ...

Ral GTPase–activating protein regulates the malignancy of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma
Ral is a Ras family small GTPase that have recently been noted as a novel signaling factor that regulates progression of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). In this study, by characterizing newly generated RalGAP‐deficient PDAC cells, we first demonstrated that Ral GTPase–activating proteins played a critical role in not only cell migration and ...

Identification of an alternative G{alpha}q-dependent chemokine receptor signal transduction pathway in dendritic cells and granulocytes [PDF]
CD38 controls the chemotaxis of leukocytes to some, but not all, chemokines, suggesting that chemokine receptor signaling in leukocytes is more diverse than previously appreciated.
