    Neoadjuvant Nivolumab with or without Relatlimab in Resectable Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer: A Randomized Phase II Trial

    In this ongoing, open-label Phase II study, 60 biomarker-unselected, treatment-naive patients with resectable NSCLC were randomized to receive two preoperative doses of nivolumab with or without relatlimab antibody therapy.

    Prime Editing Functionally Corrects Cystic Fibrosis-Causing CFTR Mutations in Human Organoids and Airway Epithelial Cells

    Scientists presented prime editing approaches to correct L227R- and N1303K-CFTR, two mutations that caused cystic fibrosis and were not eligible for current market-approved modulator therapies.

    Downregulation of Mirlet7 miRNA Family Promotes Tc17 Differentiation and Emphysema via De-repression of RORγt

    The authors demonstrated that loss of the Mirlet7b/Mirlet7c2 cluster in T cells predisposed mice to exaggerated cigarette smoke- or nanosized carbon black-elicited emphysema.

    Iron Overload–Dependent Ferroptosis Aggravates LPS-Induced Acute Lung Injury by Impairing Mitochondrial Function

    Investigators observed a significant increase in iron concentration during acute lung injury, accompanied by elevated levels of lipid peroxidation markers such as malonaldehyde and 4-hydroxynonenal.

    Abstract

    Focal Adhesion Kinase-YAP Signaling Axis Drives Drug-Tolerant Persister Cells and Residual Disease in Lung Cancer

    Researchers integrated studies in patient-derived and immunocompetent lung cancer models and clinical specimens obtained from patients on targeted therapy to uncover a focal adhesion kinase-YAP signaling axis that promoted residual disease during oncogenic EGFR-, ALK-, and KRAS-targeted therapies.

    Assessing Personalized Responses to Anti-PD-1 Treatment Using Patient-Derived Lung Tumor-on-Chip

    The authors presented the development and validation of lung tumor-on-chip platforms to quickly and precisely measure ex vivo the effects of immune checkpoint inhibitors on T cell-mediated cancer cell death by exploiting the power of live imaging and advanced image analysis algorithms.

    β-Catenin Turnover Is Regulated by Nek10-Mediated Tyrosine Phosphorylation in A549 Lung Adenocarcinoma Cells

    Investigators observed that deletion of Nek10 in lung adenocarcinoma cells resulted in dramatic stabilization of β-catenin, suggestive of a Nek10 role in the control of β-catenin turnover.

    METTL3-Mediated Deficiency of lncRNA HAR1A Drives Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Growth and Metastasis by Promoting ANXA2 Stabilization

    Researchers identified the oncogenic protein annexin 2 (ANXA2) as a potential interacting patterner of highly accelerated region 1A (HAR1A). HAR1A overexpression enhanced ANXA2 ubiquitination and accelerated its degradation via the ubiquitin–proteasome pathway.
