<i>STK11/LKB1</i> Modulation of the Immune Response in Lung Cancer: From Biology to Therapeutic Impact

The <i>STK11/LKB1</i> gene codes for liver kinase B1 (<i>STK11/LKB1</i>), a highly conserved serine/threonine kinase involved in many energy-related cellular processes. The canonical tumor-suppressive role for <i>STK11/LKB1</i> involves the activation of AMPK-rela...
