Multiple Low Dose Therapy as an Effective Strategy to Treat EGFR Inhibitor-Resistant NSCLC Tumors
The authors showed that as little as 20% of the individual effective drug doses was sufficient to completely block MAPK signaling and proliferation when used in 3D or 4D inhibitor combinations.

Targeting Lung Cancer Stem Cells Using Combination of Tel and Docetaxel Liposomes in 3D Cultures and Tumor Xenografts
Scientists demonstrated for the first time the efficacy of Docetaxel liposomes in combination with telmisartan in 3D cultures of H460 cells by using polysaccharide-based hydrogels and also in xenograft model of Docetaxel resistant H460 derived CD133+ lung tumors.

miR-410 Induces Both Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition and Radioresistance through Activation of the PI3K/mTOR Pathway in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
Scientists demonstrated that PTEN was a direct target of miR-410 by using bioinformatic tools and dual-luciferase reporter assays, and the miR-410-induced epithelial–mesenchymal transition and radioresistance were reversed by PI3K, Akt, and mTOR inhibitors or by restoring the expression of PTEN in non-small cell lung cancer cells.

Antisense Oligonucleotide-Mediated Correction of CFTR Splicing Improves Chloride Secretion in Cystic Fibrosis Patient-Derived Bronchial Epithelial Cells
Researchers tested an antisense oligonucleotide targeting the cystic fibrosis (CF) transmembrane conductance regulator c.3718-2477C>T mutation and showed that it effectively blocks aberrant splicing in primary bronchial epithelial cells from CF patients with the mutation.

High-Capacity Poly(2-oxazoline) Formulation of TLR 7/8 Agonist Extends Survival in a Chemo-Insensitive, Metastatic Model of Lung Adenocarcinoma
Researchers showed that their unique poly(2-oxazoline)–based nanomicellar formulation of Resiquimod, an imidazoquinoline Toll-like receptor 7/8 agonist, had a superior tumor inhibitory effect in a metastatic model of lung adenocarcinoma, relative to anti–PD-1 therapy or platinum-based chemotherapy.
