One of the major causes of cancer-related mortality is represented by metastatic lung cancer. Here the authors characterize the role of TMEM106B in driving metastatic lung adenocarcinoma and suggest that TMEM106B-mediated secretion of cathespin impacts cell migration and invasion of lung cancer cells, increasing metastatic spreading.
