📢New publication out: Sensory Neurotransmission and Pain in Solid Tumor Progression! This review article by first author @andremartel.bsky.social details recent work on the bidirectional relationship between sensory neurons and #cancer cells. authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S... #neurobiology

Proposed cycle between nociceptive input and autonomic output in cancer. Sensitization of nociceptive sensory neurons by the tumor microenvironment leads to propagation of orthodromic signaling towards the central nervous system (CNS).
