Core Tip

Core Tip: IFNGR1 is a transmembrane receptor required for interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) signaling. IFNGR1 expression is deregulated in lung adenocarcinoma, affecting IFN-γ signaling to promote cancer progression and reduce antiviral responses. Thus, the status of IFNGR1 expression may be critical in the detection of this cancer, and the restoration of its homeostasis may help control tumor progression and improve defense against viral infections.
