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

Sensory Neurons Play Role in Cancer Development Recent research has uncovered a link between sensory nerves and breast cancer metastasis. These nerves secrete a neuropeptide that interacts with cancer cells, promoting tumor growth and metastasis by activating specific cancer

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…

Using preclinical models, Veena Padmanaban, Sohail Tavazoie, et al. Rockefeller University #NCIMetNet revealed that tumor-induced hyperactivation of sensory neurons regulates multiple aspects of #BreastCancer #metastasis nature nature.com/articles/s4158….
