The AP-1 transcription factor JunB is essential for multiple myeloma cell proliferation and drug resistance in the bone marrow microenvironment
Despite therapeutic advances, multiple myeloma (MM) remains an incurable disease, predominantly because of the development of drug resistance. The activator protein-1 (AP-1) transcription factor family has bee...

Cooperation of BRAFF595L and mutant HRAS in histiocytic sarcoma provides new insights into oncogenic BRAF signaling
Activating BRAF mutations, in particular V600E/K, drive many cancers and are considered mutually exclusive with mutant RAS, whereas inactivating BRAF mutations in the D594F595G596 motif cooperate with RAS via par...
