The ‘memories’ of lung cancer cells can guide treatment improvement by unveiling their past responses to therapies. Scientists analyze these cellular memories using advanced sequencing techniques and assess how cancer cells adapt and evolve. Understanding these adaptive mechanisms helps in designing personalized treatments targeting specific vulnerabilities and resistant pathways, fostering more effective and tailored therapies against lung cancer.

Lanosterol shields cells, suppressing ferroptosis and preserving cellular integrity.
The precursor of cholesterol, lanosterol, protects cells from ferroptosis by inhibiting lipid peroxidation. Ferroptosis is a form of regulated cell death characterized by the iron-dependent accumulation of lipid hydroperoxides. Lanosterol intervenes in this process by reducing the levels of free iron and suppressing lipid peroxidation, preventing the lethal buildup of reactive oxygen species. This protective […]
