Researchers at the University of Michigan Rogel Cancer Center have identified a protein -- Argonaute 2 -- that appears to be critical for the progression of benign precursor lesions into pancreatic cancer.

Mutations in the KRAS gene drive more than 90% of pancreatic cancers, and currently there are no therapies that target these mutations.
