ER+ brain metastases are common but understudied. We show FGFR1 (via FGF2 and NCAM1 from neurons and astrocytes) drives brain colonization and young and aged models. Proud to be in @natcomms.nature.com Editor’s Highlights! Great job from @morgan-fox.bsky.social and @cittellylab.bsky.social

Brain FGF2 and NCAM1 contribute to FGFR1-dependent progression of estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer brain metastases - Nature Communications
FGFR1 amplifications are associated with risk of late recurrence for estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer. Here, the authors show that the brain microenvironment modulates FGFR1 activity in a host...

Their aim is nothing short of a new Dark Ages. Anti-science, anti-education, anti-democracy, in favor of needless human suffering. NIH cuts billions of dollars in biomedical funding, effective immediately www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

The move halts a large slice of money for most universities and research institutions virtually overnight, imperiling vital research in everything from cancer to heart disease.

NIH doesn’t just support infectious disease research—it drives breakthroughs in cancer, childhood diseases, heart disease, diabetes & more. Thanks to NIH, we have: 💉 Cancer immunotherapy ❤️ Cholesterol-lowering statins 🩸 Insulin for diabetes Investing in NIH = investing in life-saving discoveries.

Graduate student Morgan Fox gave a very nice talk on how the non-canonical activation of FGFR1 drives brain metastasis of ER+ breast cancer in aged mice (or “non-young” as Devon Lawson diplomatically put it for those of us over 40!) KSMetastasis25
