Harmful networks in the brain and beyond

Membrane tubes can connect cancer cells and drive tumor progression and resistance Communication in networks is the basis of many social and biological functions. Recent findings have added an uncomfortable twist to this view: Tumors can function as communicating networks, too. In several malignancies such as incurable brain tumors, long protrusions extend from cancer cells, connecting them to a functional syncytium and colonizing normal tissue. These invasive and network-building membrane tubes raise interesting questions about cancer biology.
