To test whether AT2‑derived lipids are required for metastasis, the researchers selectively deleted Fasn in AT2 cells.

KU Leuven Center for Cancer Biology, in collaboration with the Francis Crick Institute, has discovered how cancer cells can exploit healthy lung cells to support metastatic tumor growth in the lungs.

Researchers built a new atlas of lung cells, uncovering new cellular pathways and precursors in the development of lung adenocarcinoma, the most common type of lung cancer. These findings open the ...

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Lung macrophages play a pivotal role in diseases like idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. Two types of macrophages — the white blood cells that defend the body by killing microbes, ...
