Incredible to see our work out today in Cell: "Plasma signals of lung tumor promotion for molecular cancer prevention."
www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...
Researchers at the Crick have uncovered how lung tumours can hijack the activity of nearby nerves to weaken the body’s immune response.
This research was led by Ya-Hsuan Ho and Giacomo Bregni, with corresponding author Leanne Li.

Thrilled to share our new paper out today in @NatureCancer:A single dose of RT makes CAR T cells work against extensive metastatic lung cancer — even when the target antigen is also on normal tissues. (1/14)

Sensory nerve activity disrupts how immune cells are organised within lung tumours, weakening the immune response.
Ahmed and colleagues show that, by promoting ‘dressing’ of intact tumor target antigens onto dendritic cells, tumor irradiation enhances chimeric antigen receptor T cell persistence and efficacy in lu...

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.
