Sin1: a novel RAS effector with isoform specificity
Sin1, a member of the mTORC2 complex, is found to interact preferentially with KRAS4A via an atypical RAS binding domain. This interaction is shown to be dispensable for mTORC2 activity.

KRAS-related long noncoding RNAs in human cancers
A growing body of evidence supports the role of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) in cancer development. Several KRAS-related lncRNAs have been identified, with various mechanisms of cancer promotion

Tissue Health Prevails: KRAS Mutant Cells are Outcompeted from Adult Pancreas Tissues
Not all RAS mutations in pancreatic tissue lead to cancer. Cells that acquire RAS mutations can be outcompeted by healthy, neighbouring cells, with the EphA2 receptor playing an important role in this process
