How breast cancer cells hijack sensory neurons and a path to possible treatment nature.com/articles/s4158… Sohail Tavazoie Veena Padmanaban nature.com/articles/d4158… nature Heidi Ledford


Researchers in Sohail Tavazoie's lab found a “neuro-cancer axis” that may promote the spread of breast cancer. They also found that an FDA-approved anti-nausea medication may prevent it: bit.ly/3WAit8Q #RockefellerScience



This Nature News & Views piece by Heidi Ledford explains a surprising finding from Sohail Tavazoie's lab that ‘sensory’ nerves, which carry information to the brain, have a direct role in helping tumors to metastasize: nature.com/articles/d4158…


Imagine nerves as highways that help cancer cells spread, but a common anti-nausea drug can act like a roadblock to slow this down. nature.com/articles/s4158… Veena Padmanaban Sohail Tavazoie Isabel Keller Ethan Seltzer @benostendorf

In a new Comment, Eric Betzig describes his vision for the future of bioimaging and bioimage analysis. He further recommends "Cell Observatories" as a path forward for addressing complex outstanding biological questions. Eric Betzig nature.com/articles/s4159…
