Thank you for the amazing #CancerNeuroscience conference @helloeacr.bsky.social! We had a great time in Bilbao @winklerlab.bsky.social🧠.

Very much looking forward to presenting our work on the #cancerneuroscience of #brainmetastasis in session OS10 later today #EANO2025 ! #preclinical #NeuroOncology

We want to say a huge thank you to all who attended and helped organise Cancer Neuroscience this week in Bilbao 🎉 The next EACR conference is virtual and just around the corner - register for Patient Involvement in Cancer Research by Monday! eacr.org/conference/p...

We are excited to share the Venkatesh Lab’s first publication in collaboration with @michellemonje.bsky.social team uncovering how neuronal activity influences the progression of small cell lung cancer #SCLC in the lung and brain. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

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!

A new step towards targeting #tumornetworks in #glioblastoma ! Very happy to have made a small contribution to this exciting work led by @danielazorin.bsky.social and @dirkchoffmann.bsky.social 💐 #cancerneuroscience #GBM #braintumors 🧠 For a #Bluetorial see 👇

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...

Wow congratulations, Mahak 🎊 , this is so well deserved !!!

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! 🧠✨

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 🧠

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 can we reawaken the body’s own anti-viral defenses to fight brain cancer? Delighted to share our new study where we now answer this question, led by the brilliant @alvarezprado.bsky.social who is now an independent PI at LIH Luxembourg 👏👏 #BrainTIME 🧠🦠🧪 🧵 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

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

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

rdcu.be/emi9N Fishing for Metastasis Initiating Cells (MICs): we summarize here a heroic effort from Christoph Klein and Melanie Werner-Klein labs, which describes a MIC population in lymph nodes and how these cells evade immune attack. #metastasis #melanoma #extracellularvesicles #cancerprevention

This was a great meeting, inspiring, informative and with a lot of opportunity to network and catch up! Thanks to all contributors, participants and especially to the organizers 🤩

The second day of the UNITE conference. Today there will also be a contribution from a patient on the book “Alles gut? Alles gut.” by Marlene Assmann. www.jacobystuart.de/buecher-von-...

What an inspiring #HertieNetwork Symposium in Mannheim on April 10–11! A big thank you to the organizers and the amazing hosting team for two days full of insightful discussions and excellent scientific presentations! #ExcellenceInClinicalNeuroscience

Delighted to share the published version of this work from brilliant #CancerNeuroscience post-doc Tara Barron detailing GABAergic neuron-to-glioma synapses in #DIPG/#DMG. 🧵 Open access link: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Thrilled to share that our work from Trumpp Lab @hi-stem @dkfz.bsky.social is out in Nature. We provide the first single-cell data on neurons infiltrating pancreatic tumors, offering new insights into cancer therapy. #cancerneuroscience @cn-hd.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Crick researchers have found that certain aggressive lung cancer cells can develop their own electric network, similar to the body’s nervous system. This can allow tumour cells to go ‘off grid,’ making them harder to treat. www.crick.ac.uk/news/2025-02...
