    A telomere-targeting drug depletes cancer initiating cells and promotes anti-tumor immunity in small cell lung cancer

    There are few effective treatments for small cell lung cancer (SCLC) underscoring the need for innovative therapeutic approaches. This study focuses on exploiting telomerase, a critical SCLC dependency as a th...

    Comprehensive targeting of resistance to inhibition of RTK signaling pathways by using glucocorticoids

    Inhibition of RTK pathways in cancer triggers an adaptive response that promotes therapeutic resistance. Because the adaptive response is multifaceted, the optimal approach to blunting it remains undetermined....

    Cell-autonomous immune gene expression is repressed in pulmonary neuroendocrine cells and small cell lung cancer

    Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is classified as a high-grade neuroendocrine (NE) tumor, but a subset of SCLC has been termed “variant” due to the loss of NE characteristics. In this study, we computed NE scores...

    EGFR inhibition triggers an adaptive response by co-opting antiviral signaling pathways in lung cancer

    EGFR inhibition is an effective treatment in the minority of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cases harboring EGFR-activating mutations, but not in EGFR wild-type (EGFRwt) tumors. Here we demonstrate that EG...

    Identification and characterization of an alternative cancer-derived PD-L1 splice variant

    Therapeutic blockade of the PD-1/PD-L1 axis is recognized as an effective treatment for numerous cancer types. However, only a subset of patients respond to this treatment, warranting a greater understanding o...

    Suppression of Myeloid Cell Arginase Activity leads to Therapeutic Response in a NSCLC Mouse Model by Activating Anti-Tumor Immunity

    Tumor orchestrated metabolic changes in the microenvironment limit generation of anti-tumor immune responses. Availability of arginine, a semi-essential amino acid, is critical for lymphocyte proliferation and...

    Lkb1 inactivation drives lung cancer lineage switching governed by Polycomb Repressive Complex 2

    Adenosquamous lung tumours, which are extremely poor prognosis, may result from cellular plasticity. Here, we demonstrate lineage switching of KRAS+ lung adenocarcinomas (ADC) to squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) ...
