Let’s get on pancreatic cancer’s nerves

Margaret Osborne — Mon, 09 Feb 2026 13:54:57 +0000

Pancreatic cancer has a lot of nerve. Notoriously tricky to detect, the disease also often resists traditional therapy. So, researchers are urgently looking for new ways to disrupt tumor formation. Though scientists know that the nervous system can help cancer spread, its role in the disease’s earliest stages remains unclear. “One phenomenon that is known...

CSHL holds first-ever cancer neuroscience course

Nick Wurm — Mon, 24 Mar 2025 11:30:47 +0000

The brain controls the body, in large part, through nerves. So, what happens when nerves form new connections with tumors? How does the nervous system drive cancer progression? How do these interactions influence anti-cancer therapies? A burgeoning new field known as cancer neuroscience aims to answer these questions. But how? How does one solve a...

New hope in the fight against neurofibromatosis

Nick Wurm — Mon, 18 Mar 2024 11:30:31 +0000

It’s the most common single-gene neurological disorder in the world. It is typically diagnosed in children. It’s often accompanied by learning challenges. It can lead to tumors in the brain, spinal cord, and throughout the body. It’s called neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1). One out of every 3,000 people is born with the disease. And there...
