Understanding the neural mechanisms driving the proliferation of primary and metastatic brain tumors represents a pivotal frontier at the interface of cancer and neuroscience. This Research Topic delves into the complex interplay between neurotransmitter receptors, membrane proteins, and the tumor microenvironment, shedding light on novel avenues for therapeutic interventions beyond conventional cancer signaling pathways.
Key areas of focus include unraveling the complex crosstalk between neural signaling pathways and tumorigenesis, elucidating the impact of neurobiological processes on tumor progression, and identifying potential targets for therapeutic interventions in brain and peripheral nerve tumors.
Authors are encouraged to explore the role of neural modulation in tumor growth, investigate the influence of neurotransmitter signaling on tumor behavior, and examine the potential of small molecule and cellular immune targeting for therapeutic efficacy in neuro-oncology. Additionally, discussions on the clinical implications of these findings and the future directions for research in this field are highly valued.
This Research Topic aims to bridge the gap between cancer biology and neuroscience, offering insights into the mechanisms driving tumor growth in neural tissues and paving the way for the development of innovative therapeutics that exploit the neurobiological vulnerabilities of various malignancies.
Please note: Manuscripts consisting solely of bioinformatics, computational analysis, or predictions of public databases which are not accompanied by validation (independent clinical or patient cohort, or biological validation in vitro or in vivo, which are not based on public databases) are not suitable for publication in this journal.
