📢 #CancerNeuroscience Online Seminar with Ofer Yizhar, from Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel.

Title: “Optogenetic modulation of neural circuits”

This virtual seminar takes place on April 28, from 5-6 PM CEST, please register here: us06web.zoom.us/meeting/regi...

Neural circuits in lung adenocarcinoma modulate immunosurveillance Recent evidence from a study published in Nature by Wei et al. reveals a bidirectional tumor–brain axis in lung cancer that suppresses immune surveillance by reprogramming macrophages and disabling T cell responses. These findings highlight neuroimmune signaling as a key regulator of cancer progression and a promising therapeutic target.

Cover of this week's Nature showing a brain rendering Cover caption from the journal: Brain development: Our ability to process information into complex emotions, behaviours and decisions relies on the rich diversity of cell types that make up the human brain. Uncovering the molecular and cellular events that take place during brain development could reveal not only the mechanisms that give rise to this diversity but also shed light on how this process might go awry in neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism and schizophrenia. In this week’s issue, the BRAIN Initiative Cell Atlas Network (BICAN) builds on its previous work creating atlases of cell types in the adult mouse, non-human primate (NHP) and human brains to present cell-type atlases of the developing human, mouse and NHP brains. Across a suite of papers, nine of which are published in Nature, the researchers uncover the complex programs through which cell types emerge during brain development in humans and animals, revealing both the shared and unique features of the human brain. The latest work, along with future research directions, is summed up in a Perspective article by Tomasz Nowakowski and colleagues
