A recent study found that long palate, lung, and nasal epithelial cell clone 1 (LPLUNC1) act as a tumor suppressor in nasopharyngeal carcinoma, as its overexpression reduces glycolysis levels and increases expression of oxidative phosphorylation-related proteins in nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells(Oyang et al. 2023). The gene discussed is BPIFB1; the disease is neoplasm.
