Background: Concurrent (STK11, KL) mutant non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLC) do not respond well to current immune checkpoint blockade therapies, however targeting major histocompatibility complex class I-related chain A or B (MICA/B), could pose an alternative therapeutic strategy through activation of natural killer (NK) cells.

Methods: Expression of NK cell activating ligands in NSCLC cell line and patient data were analyzed. Cell surface expression of MICA/B in NSCLC cell lines was determined through flow cytometry while ligand shedding in both patient blood and cell lines was determined through ELISA.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a major global health concern, with its prevalence increasing steadily. While plasma proteins have been implicated in NAFLD, establishing causal relationships has been challenging due to confounding factors in observational studies. This study aims to explore the causal relationships between plasma proteins and NAFLD using Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis.

Concurrent (STK11, KL) mutant Non-Small Cell Lung Cancers (NSCLC) is particularly difficult to treat and does not respond well to current immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapies. This is due to numerous mechanisms including low antigen presentation limiting T cell mediated killing. To activate anti-tumor immunity, we targeted tumor cell - natural killer (NK) cell interactions.
