Great talk today by Prof. Mariella Filbin at St. Louis Children’s Hospital!

We’re thrilled to share that CSHL Associate Professor Jeremy Borniger (@jborniger.bsky.social) has received the 2026 Bakewell Emerging Leader Award from The Mark Foundation. His lab is exploring synthetic torpor—a hibernation-like state—as a novel way to slow cancer growth. #ScienceMakesLifeBetter

Wrapping up G&D 2025 on a high note!!! Stay tuned for another great year of exciting research. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Happy Hanukkah from the Gutmann lab!! 🕎 We are celebrating the 3rd day/4rd night with some delicious sufganiyot. May the lights of Hanukkah bring everyone warmth and joy in this season.

Cancer’s been known to knock the body’s stress response out of sync. In mice, the Borniger (@jborniger.bsky.social) lab has found that stimulating key neurons at the right time can restore healthy stress hormone rhythms, bolstering the body’s anti-tumor defenses. www.cshl.edu/day-night-ca...

For the second week in a row, both the Michigan men’s and women’s basketball teams are among the top teams in the AP Poll: www.maizenbrew.com/michigan-men...

In today’s #GrandRounds, Eric Thompson, MD, of WashU Medicine Neurosurgery, gave an overview of immunotherapy mechanisms and platforms for pediatric brain tumors and shared his work on a peptide vaccine that targets an antigen commonly found in certain types of malignant tumors.

So proud to partner with Penny's Flight Foundation.

Join us in celebrating Dr. Gutmann as the NFX 2025 Strength & Honor honoree for his dedication to NF research and mentorship! We also recognize Harper Grace Durham, the Head & Heart honoree, whose strength and advocacy inspire the entire NF community. Watch their shared story in the video below:

Celebrations are in full swing in the Gutmann Lab! 🎉 Yesterday’s Labsgiving and white elephant were a great way to appreciate the wonderful people who make this science family special. Wishing everyone a happy holiday season! 🎁❄️

When you work with the best people, you enjoy every day. Happy Holidays from the Gutmann Lab!

Last Friday,we welcomed our friends from Forward Strides 4NF,an amazing family-founded charity that brings awareness and support to the NF center with their fundraising opportunities,like the fun annual family walk you shouldn't miss! We are grateful for their endorsement and opportunity to connect💙

Another amazing CABIN meeting in the books. Thank you to @cshlbanbury.bsky.social and #pennysflight.

Congratulations to winners of The Brain Prize 2025! Professors @michellemonje.bsky.social, @stanfordmedicine.bsky.social and @hhmi.org Investigator, and Frank Winkler, Heidelberg University Hospital, have pioneered the field of Cancer Neuroscience. Learn more: brainprize.org/winners/canc...

“I was advised that having multiple children would detract from my scientific career. But I actually think that it has greatly benefited it.” Prof. @michellemonje.bsky.social, Neurology and Neurological Sciences at Stanford University, #BrainPrize2025. #Neuroscience youtu.be/f7sbSuWie5A?...

A beautiful end to a second amazing day of Cognition and Behavior in NF1 at @cshlbanbury.bsky.social

Now online in Cancer Discovery @aacrjournals.bsky.social: Screening for Tumor Microtube-Targeting Drugs Identifies PKC Modulators as Multipotent Inhibitors of Glioblastoma Progression - by Daniel Azorín, Dirk Hoffmann, @winklerlab.bsky.social, and colleagues doi.org/10.1158/2159...

#Glioblastoma cells don’t just grow — they extend tumor microtubes that let them invade the brain 🧠 and link into multicellular networks that resist therapy ☢️. We developed a strategy to inhibit these TMs — and make these cells vulnerable to therapy ☠️. This study is now online @Cancer Discovery

As part of the call for applications below, the Heidelberg/Mannheim site is offering four clinician scientist/postdoc positions in the field of neuro-oncology in the departements of @wickwolfgang.bsky.social and @michael-platten.bsky.social. For applications use the link below.

The 2025 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was awarded jointly to Mary E. Brunkow, Fred Ramsdell and Shimon Sakaguchi “for their discoveries concerning peripheral immune tolerance.” This Collection celebrates the award and recognizes the winners’ achievements. #medsky 🧪

Excited to share our latest work in Neuro-Oncology Advances! 🥳 After comparing several potential therapies, we identified lamotrigine as a promising therapy for NF1 optic glioma, showing both tumor reduction and vision protection. Check out the work of our great team!

The amazing Ms. Mary Stallings at @jazzstlouis.bsky.social. Absolutely wonderful!

Happy to share the review out in @cp-cellreports.bsky.social Thanks to amazing Sebastien Talbot and Alexander Birbrair www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

We are proud to present a Special Issue on Cancer Neuroscience, curated by editors Bennie Babayan & Ted Dobie. This issue offers a snapshot of the field through a collection of Perspectives, Reviews, and NeuroViews: cell.com/neuron/issue.... See below for details on the pieces:

Exciting news! Our new paper is out in Neuron! We discovered how neurons drive brain tumor growth through aberrant glutamate–tyrosine kinase signaling, uncovering novel mechanisms that shape tumor progression. Grateful to our team & collaborators for making this breakthrough possible! 🧠✨

Time traveled back to the 1920s at the Focal Point with T J. Muller and band.

Thank you for another amazing experience at the @newportjazzfest.bsky.social this year. Sunday was otherworldly!

We are so proud of Rasha and Rui's new paper! Their single cell reveals hidden diversity in CD8+ exhausted T cells across cancers, shedding light on why patients respond differently to immunotherapy and bringing us closer to more effective therapies. Don’t miss this exciting advance from our team!
