Targeting LunX inhibits non-small-cell lung cancer growth and metastasis

There remains a great need for effective therapies for lung cancer, the majority of which are non-small-cell lung cancers (NSCLC). Here we report the identification of a novel candidate therapeutic target, LunX, as a molecule overexpressed in primary N...

LUNX, a Novel Therapeutic Target in NSCLC

There remains a great need for effective therapies for lung cancer, the majority of which are non–small cell lung cancers (NSCLC). Here, we report the identification of a novel candidate therapeutic target, LUNX, as a molecule overexpressed in prima...

Tumor-derived Osteopontin reprograms normal mammary fibroblasts to promote inflammation and tumor growth in breast cancer

Breast tumors are characterized by an extensive desmoplastic stroma, abundantly populated by fibroblasts. Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAF) support tumorigenesis by stimulating angiogenesis, cancer cell proliferation and invasion. CAF also orchestrat...

{beta}-Arrestin-1-Mediated Induction of EMT

Cigarette smoking is a major risk factor in the development of non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), which accounts for 80% of all lung cancers. Nicotine, the major addictive component of tobacco smoke, can induce proliferation, invasion, and epitheli...
