Abstract
Circulating tumour cells from primary carcinomas may reach the brain and establish metastases. In the brain parenchyma, tumour cells initiate extensive interactions with resident astrocytes, microglia and neurons, forming a niche where tumour cells can thrive. A new study reveals a previously unknown type of astrocyte–tumour cell interaction.
