Research on NF2 can provide valuable insights into cancer biology and treatment. The NF2 gene and its protein product, merlin, are involved in pathways that regulate cell growth, adhesion, and migration—processes that are often dysregulated in cancer. Understanding these pathways can lead to the development of new cancer therapies that target similar mechanisms. Additionally, studying the response of NF2-related tumors to various treatments can inform strategies for treating malignant tumors with similar genetic alterations.
