Researchers studying the mechanics of the early stages of lung cancer have identified a new potential treatment that may also aid early in detection of the disease. A group, led by researchers from the University of Edinburgh, discovered that the protein TLR2 helps control some of the body’s defense mechanisms when cancerous mutations occur in cells.

The findings, “Toll-like receptor 2 orchestrates a tumor suppressor response in non-small cell lung cancer,” is published in the journal Cell Reports.
