Aiolos and Lymphocyte Mimicry in Lung Cancer

Aggressive carcinomas tend to adopt behaviors normally restricted to lymphocytes, including anchorage-independent mobilization, response to chemokines, and modulation of local inflammatory conditions. In a recent study we identified the lymphocyte-restricted chromatin regulator Aiolos as an epigenet...

Sumario:Aggressive carcinomas tend to adopt behaviors normally restricted to lymphocytes, including anchorage-independent mobilization, response to chemokines, and modulation of local inflammatory conditions. In a recent study we identified the lymphocyte-restricted chromatin regulator Aiolos as an epigenetic driver of lymphocyte mimicry in lung cancer that links immune cell development to metastatic behavior.
