## Description

The Carol S. Lutz Lab is a cancer research laboratory focused on understanding how non-coding RNAs influence inflammation and cancer development. Its work examines microRNAs and long non-coding RNAs, including miR-146a, miR-708-5p, and PACER, and their effects on inflammatory pathways that can shape tumor growth, immune responses, and treatment outcomes. A central research area is the arachidonic acid pathway, particularly the regulation of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and production of prostaglandin E2 in cancer.

The lab investigates how RNA-mediated processes, such as microRNA activity and alternative polyadenylation, regulate key pathway components. Its research has explored RNA-based mechanisms in lung cancer and aims to clarify how inflammation in tumors affects disease progression and response to therapy. By studying these mechanisms, the Lutz Lab seeks to inform new treatment strategies, especially for cancers with high levels of inflammation. The laboratory shares its work through research publications and provides information about its team, collaborators, funding, and lab news. It is based in Newark, New Jersey, and is led by Carol S. Lutz.
