#CancerNeuroscience Online Seminar, October 21, 5-6 PM, CET. Elizabeth Repasky, Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center, Buffalo, NY - Chronic adrenergic stress and thermoregulation: critical neuro-immune interactions that promote cancer in laboratory mice. us06web.zoom.us/meeting/regi...

Come and join The Brain Prize Lecture from Larry Abbott, US, at #ECNP2025. The 2024 prize co-recipient will present work on how connectomics advance our understanding of two neural systems, as well as its implications for neurology. Details: www.ecnp.eu/congress2025... #TheBrainPrize #neuroscience

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...

#CancerNeuroscience Seminar with Elizabeth Repasky from Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center in Buffalo, NY. 🧠Chronic adrenergic stress and thermoregulation: critical neuro-immune interactions that promote cancer in laboratory mice🐭 🐁Virtual seminar on 10/21 from 5-6 PM, CET, register on zoom.

A milestone moment! Founding directors Eva Winkler & Thorsten Moos officially opened the Camilla & Georg Jellinek Center @uniheidelberg. With music, discussions and a keynote by Thomas W. Simpson, a new platform for exploring #ethics at the intersection of #science and #society begins. #ethikzentrum

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.

🚨 At #EANO2025, we already expect more than 1,200 participants! Don’t miss out on this fantastic experience to meet experts in the field of #NeuroOncology from all over the world. Registration is still open eano.eu/eano2025/ We can’t wait to see you in #Prague!

We are proud to see our Brain Prize documentary film among the finalists at this year’s Cannes Corporate Media & TV Awards. Watch the documentary: brainprize.org/winners/comp...

🚨 Registration deadline for the EACR conference on #cancerneuroscience is September 15 ‼️ Please join us in beautiful Bilbao for exciting discussions on the dialogue between the nervous system and cancer 🔬🧠 See you soon!

🧠 The phase 1/2 N2M2 umbrella trial lead by former EANO president @wickwolfgang.bsky.social has just been published in Nature Medicine 🔗 www.nature.com/articles/s41... #NeuroOncology #EANOessentials #BrainTumors #CancerResearch

the deadline to register at the inaugural EACR cancer neuroscience is approaching fast: Sept 15th. Do join us for a fantastic line up of invited speakers, short talks and abstracts (yes, we have seen them) in the wonderful city of Bilbao (Guggenheim, Pintxos, Txakoli...). eacr.org/conference/c....

Congratulations to Mahak Singhal @uniheidelberg.bsky.social on being awarded an @erc.europa.eu Starting Grant for his project "Vascular-Rhythm" focussing on "DeClocking the vascular rhythmic control of tissue homeostasis and disease initiation". Pioneering a new branch of vascular research!

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! 🧠✨

Shameless self promotion of our new paper. So very excited to share our new work uncovering coupling of glutamate receptors ⚡️and RTKs to enable growth of low-grade gliomas 🧠 @gutmannlab.bsky.social @washuneurology.bsky.social

How do #metastases survive (and thrive!) in the #brain microenvironment? In our review, now online @cp-neuron.bsky.social, we discuss the recent findings on #cancerneuroscience of #brainmetastases: Learn all about how #cancer cells adapt to, and communicate with, this unique environment 🧠

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:

Very much looking forward to this meeting! Thank you for the invite to present our work here 🔬🐁🧠

A Review by Frank Winkler & @matthiakarreman.bsky.social on how neural-cancer interactions shape metastasis and tumor evolution www.cell.com/neuron/fullt...

The idea that cancer cells might interact with neurons is a new and unconventional idea, but that didn’t stop Leanne Li from pitching it when she applied for her role at the Crick. Five years later, we spoke to Leanne about what she and her team have been working on. www.crick.ac.uk/news/2025-08...

Cancer cells are notoriously plastic, but what triggers the changes in cell state? In our new Nature (@nature.com)‬ paper, Miranda Hunter (@mrndhntr.bsky.social‬) found that mechanical pressure is a key to this switch. Check it out here: go.nature.com/47iwDm2
