Many congrats Lucas and the whole team! And happy to have been part of it!

Functional synapses between neurons and small cell lung cancer - Nature Small cell lung cancer cells form functional synapses with glutamatergic neurons, receiving synaptic transmissions and deriving a proliferative advantage from these interactions.

Finally out at @nature.com! Co-led with @motorilab.bsky.social, Max Anstötz, Silvio Rizzoli, Christian Rheinardt and Filippo Beleggia, we show that SCLC hijack glutamatergic synapses for proliferation advantage. Congrats to all involved! @cecad.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...
