Daily briefing: Tumours use neurons as hotline to the brain

Tumours lure and then hijack nearby sensory neurons to boost their own growth. The cancer cells use these neurons to send a signal to the brain that subdues the activity of immune cells around the tumour, which allows it to grow unchecked. When researchers deactivated these neurons in mice with lung cancer, they saw "a huge, dramatic reduction" in tumour growth - more than 50% - says cancer immunologist and study co-author Chengcheng Jin.
