How Nerves Shape Cancer: From Energy Rewiring to Metastasis

from The Cancer Researcher Podcast

In recent years, the neuronal component of the cancer microenvironment and the metabolic plasticity of cancer cells have become increasingly recognised as essential for cancer progression. Dr Simon Grelet and Dr Gustavo Ayala are two key researchers who work at the interface of cancer neuroscience and cancer metabolism, investigating metabolic reprogramming as a consequence of tumour innervation. In this episode, we will discuss their research on neuron- cancer cell transfer of mitochondria. 🔗 Read more about the publication here 🔗 Access transcripts for all our episodes at magazine.eacr.org/podcast
