It was a privilege to lead this #CancerNeuroscience study on how glioma can recruit mechanisms of adaptive plasticity to promote cancer growth. I am eternally grateful to have an incredible mentor @michelle_monje and to have collaborated with such an outstanding group scientists
#CancerNeuroscience work by the brilliant postdoc @Kathryn_RTaylor published (open access) today demonstrates that malignant gliomas #DIPG #GBM recruit mechanisms of synaptic plasticity to drive cancer growth. A thread… (1/ ) nature.com/articles/s41586-0…
