1/ Very happy to share our first publication out of the lab highlighting the role of neural activity in SCLC progression in collaboration with @michelle_monje and led by @SavchukSol and Kaylee Gentry @BWHNeurology @MGBResearchNews #CancerNeuroscience 🧵…nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

Neuronal activity-dependent mechanisms of small cell lung cancer pathogenesis

Nature - Glutamatergic and GABAergic (γ-aminobutyric acid-producing) cortical neuronal activity drives proliferation of small lung cell cancer via paracrine interactions and through synapses...

11/ Happy to share that fantastic, complementary studies done by Filippo Beleggia @fbeleggia and @chr_reinhardt similarly found SCLC cells utilize glutamatergic signaling to promote tumor growth nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

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.

Excited to share our work in the Gibson lab at @Stanford published in @NeuroCellPress! We show that the circadian factor BMAL1 regulates oligodendroglia and myelination, contributing to sleep regulation. cell.com/neuron/fulltext/S08… 1/13
