Circular RNAs (circRNA) is a class of non-coding RNAs that can regulate gene translation and function. Here the authors show that a circRNA, circNDUFB2, is downregulated in non-small cell lung cancer tissues, and likely contributes to anti-tumor immunity by regulating both degradation of oncoproteins and induction of innate immunity.
