Mechanism facilitates brain metastasis from breast cancer and melanoma by inducing neuroinflammation

In a new study from Tel Aviv University published in the journal Nature Cancer, a team of researchers led by Prof. Neta Erez, head of the laboratory for the biology of tumors from the Department of Pathology at the Sackler Faculty of Medicine, identified and characterized a new mechanism that facilitates the formation of brain metastases and found that impairing this mechanism significantly reduced the development of brain metastases in mice.
