How small cell lung cancer hijacks neuronal synapses
An international research team has shown that lung cancer cells can form functional synapses with neurons, effectively hijacking the body's neural circuits to grow faster. The finding reveals a ...
Pancreatic cancer is one of the deadliest types of tumors. A team at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) reports that pancreatic tumors exploit the body's nervous system by forming so-called ...
In the brain, highly specific connections called synapses link nerve cells and transmit electrical signals in a targeted manner. Despite decades of research, how synapses form during brain development ...
A study by Dorothy P. Schafer, Ph.D., and Travis E. Faust, Ph.D., at UMass Chan Medical School, explains how two different cell types in the brain—astrocytes and microglia—communicate in response to ...
