Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Cancer and the Brain: How Neurons Help Tumors Grow | Prof. Frank Winkler
Q: Are there real differences in how brain tumors respond to therapies like radiotherapy across subtypes?
Yes, oligodendrogliomas tend to respond better to radiotherapy and chemotherapy than astrocytomas or glioblastoma, especially when tumor cells are not interconnected; connectivity appears to confer therapy resistance in several contexts.
Cancer and the Brain: How Neurons Help Tumors Grow | Prof. Frank Winkler
Q: What have we learned about neuron-to-cancer synapses and astrocytes in this context?
Neuron-to-cancer synapses deliver excitatory signals that drive calcium activity and depolarization in cancer cells, while astrocyte networks show altered calcium signaling in the tumor context, potentially modulating synaptic function and contributing to tumor progression.
Cancer and the Brain: How Neurons Help Tumors Grow | Prof. Frank Winkler
Q: Can you summarize what cancer neuroscience is and why the nervous system matters for cancer?
Cancer neuroscience is the study of bidirectional interactions between the nervous system and cancer, where neurons and glial cells can influence tumor initiation, growth, and metastasis, and cancer cells can in turn reshape neural networks to support their progression.
Building a Better Future for Science | Challenges in Academia with Prof. Tiago F. Outeiro
Q: How can researchers stay current and maintain balance in a demanding field?
He suggests developing personal methodologies to manage information overload, leveraging social media and networks to spot trends, and using AI tools to increase efficiency while prioritizing well-being and life balance.
Building a Better Future for Science | Challenges in Academia with Prof. Tiago F. Outeiro
Q: What is most pressing according to you? And what would you like to change in how academia views life sciences?
Tiago emphasizes evaluating people more creatively, embracing inclusivity, and creating opportunities for those who may not fit traditional pathways, while acknowledging the system is crowded and not everyone will have a chance. He also highlights the need for structural changes to funding and staff roles beyond professors, to retain talented researchers at multiple levels.
