Happy #FluorescenceFriday! Gap junction inhibition disconnects tumour networks in brain metastases and silences Ca²⁺ oscillations that drive proliferation. More in our recent preprint : www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Super excited to see our new preprint on calcium signalling in brain metastases now out on bioRxiv! Very thankful to be part of @winklerlab.bsky.social and working so closely with @nilshebach.bsky.social under the guidance of @matthiakarreman.bsky.social and Frank Winkler and all our collaborators.

Our new preprint on calcium signaling in brain metastases is now on bioRxiv! Thrilled to share the core work of my doctoral thesis in the @winklerlab.bsky.social, together with @nielsolshausen.bsky.social, @matthiakarreman.bsky.social and many more!

What if brain metastatic cells do not act alone, but form #networks to help them grow? In our new #preprint, we show that #brainmetastases form malignant, gap-junction mediated #networks that drive cell cycle progression & neural features through Ca²⁺ signaling. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... 🧵👇

My main PhD project is out in #CancerDiscovery @theaacr.bsky.social We found that PKC activators (TPPB) destroy tumor microtube networks that glioblastoma cells use to invade & resist therapy. Huge thanks to my first co-author @dirkchoffmann.bsky.social , @winklerlab.bsky.social & all co-authors!

Very excited to see this out and happy to have contributed!

#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

How to disconnect therapy-resistant tumor networks in glioblastoma? In our paper, online @Cancer Discovery, we built an anti-tumor microtube (TM) screening pipeline and found that Protein Kinase C activators disrupt TMs, silence Ca²⁺ “pacemakers” and boost radiotherapy. doi.org/10.1158/2159...
