Nanoparticle delivery of FZD4 to lung endothelial cells inhibits lung cancer progression and metastases

2024-04-16 - 2024-04

Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide, according to the American Lung Association. In 2021 alone, the disease accounted for 22% of all cancer deaths. With less than a 20% five-year survival rate for patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancers, a promising treatment approach like this is desperately needed. In pursuit of more therapeutic approaches, the Dr. Kalin's lab developed a nanoparticle delivery system to successfully deliver FZD4 to pulmonary endothelium, which decreased lung tumour growth and metastasis in pre-clinical models of lung cancer.

Study reveals potential to reverse lung fibrosis using the body's own healing technique

2024-04-12 - 2024-04

Researchers are urgently trying to find ways to prevent or slow idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and related lung conditions, which can cause worsening shortness of breath, dry cough, and extreme fatigue. Average survival following diagnosis of IPF is just three to five years, and the disease has no cure.
