Given the substantial macrophage infiltration in NF1 lesions and its association with disease progression, we hypothesized that targeting tumor-promoting immune cells with the retinoid X receptor (RXR) agonist MSU-42011 could be an alternative therapeutic strategy, as it has shown promise in KRAS-driven cancers by decreasing pERK levels and reducing tumor-promoting immune cells. The gene discussed is NF1; the disease is neoplasm.
