    Targeting Brain Lesions of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer by Enhancing CCL2-Mediated CAR-T Cell Migration

    Investigators reported that chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells targeting B7-H3 exhibited antitumor activity in vitro against tumor cell lines and lung cancer organoids, and in vivo in xenotransplant models of orthotopic and metastatic NSCLC.

    CircHECTD1 Attenuates Apoptosis of Alveolar Epithelial Cells in Acute Lung Injury

    Scientists suggested that circHECTD1 inhibited the apoptosis of alveolar epithelial cells through miR-320a/PIK3CA and miR-136/Sirt1 pathways in lipopolysaccharide-induced acute lung injury.

    Abstract

    Next-Generation Tumor-Homing Induced Neural Stem Cells as an Adjuvant to Radiation for the Treatment of Metastatic Lung Cancer

    Researchers provided evidence that hiNeuroS-TRAIL cells could migrate to and suppress growth of NSCLC metastases in combination with radiation.

    Abstract

    Clinical Outcomes of EGFR+/METamp+ vs. EGFR+/METamp- Untreated Patients with Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

    Survival rates were estimated by the Kaplan–Meier method with log-rank statistics. Lung cancer organoids were generated from patient-derived malignant pleural effusion to perform drug sensitivity assays.
