Researchers couldn’t target the mutations in the RAS family of proteins that drive more than 90% of cases. Often described as a “smooth ball,” the RAS protein is frustratingly free of any pockets or divots that would allow a drug to bind to it. Researchers deemed it “undruggable.” Not… ## [Celebrating Lynne](https://www.pancreaticcancer.org.uk/news-and-blogs/celebrating-lynne/) _2026-08-14 · Callum Dallimore · Pancreatic Cancer UK_ We pay tribute to our dear friend, former trustee and Chair, Lynne Walker, who has sadly died.
