KLF4 Promotes a KRT13+ Hillock-Like State in Lung Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Abstract. Lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) is a basal-like subtype of lung cancer with limited treatment options. While prior studies have identified tumor-propagating cell states in squamous tumor...

Transcriptional plasticity is a major barrier to effective cancer treatment. We know a lot about it in #SCLC but less is known for #squamous #lungcancer. Luke Izzo & Tony Reyes have made major inroads into this problem in our latest preprint: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40161723/

FAK inhibition combined with the RAF-MEK clamp avutometinib overcomes resistance to targeted and immune therapies in BRAF V600E melanoma
By transcriptomic analysis, Lubrano et al. demonstrate that FAK-regulated pathways are enriched in BRAFi+MEKi-resistant melanoma lesions. In BRAF V600E melanomas, MAPK inhibition decreases RhoE (RND3) expression, activating the RhoA-FAK-AKT pathway and…

The NIH’s drastic cut to indirect cost rates is a critical threat to U.S. research infrastructure
The drastic reduction in indirect costs is not a path to innovation or cost savings — it’s a threat to U.S.’s position as global leader in medical research.
