DHHC7 palmitoylates KRAS4A and promotes mutant KRAS-driven pancreatic cancers

Wenzhe Chen, George E. Maio, Xiao Chen…·Hening Lin

This study identifies DHHC7 as a palmitoyl transferase that modifies KRAS4A, enhancing its membrane localization and activation, and shows that targeting DHHC7 inhibits pancreatic tumor growth.

Tumor nutrient stress gives rise to a drug tolerant cell state in pancreatic cancer

Colin S. Sheehan, Lyndon Hu, Guillaume Cognet…·Alexander Muir

This study shows that pancreatic cancer cells in a nutrient-stressed tumor microenvironment develop drug tolerance, and identifies BCL-XL inhibition as a potential therapeutic strategy.
