New Study Reveals Key Mechanism Behind Lung Cancer Radiation Resistance
Scientists have uncovered how a specific protein helps lung cancer cells resist radiation treatment, according to new research. The findings could lead to improved therapies for non-small cell lung cancer patients who develop treatment resistance. The mechanism involves cellular stiffening and enhanced DNA repair capabilities.
Breakthrough in Understanding Radiation Resistance
Researchers have identified a key molecular mechanism that makes certain lung cancer cells resistant to radiation therapy, according to a new study published in Cell Death Discovery. The research focuses on the protein FHL2 and its role in helping non-small cell lung cancer cells survive radiotherapy treatments that would normally destroy them.
