What this claim means

A designed molecule that attaches to both cyclophilin A and active RAS proteins blocks RAS signaling in cells with different RAS mutations by holding RAS in an inactive state.

See the technical phrasing

A bifunctional molecule that simultaneously binds cyclophilin A and active RAS proteins inhibits RAS signaling across multiple mutation variants by stabilizing RAS in its inactive conformation.

Why this might work
Supported
based on 1 study

A molecule that attaches to both cyclophilin A and the RAS protein forces RAS into a shape that cannot activate downstream signals, blocking cancer-promoting pathways regardless of RAS mutations.
