Metastatic cancer is not amenable to surgery and its treatment is further complicated by the development of therapy resistance often observed at advanced cancer stages. Early detection of metastases is therefore critical but has been limited by the lack of probes that can effectively localize them. Similar challenges persist with therapeutics specifically targeting metastasized cancer cells. Thus, agents that specifically target disseminating tumor cells at an early stage could produce new theranostic applications and be transformative for the survival of patients with advanced cancers. Recent studies have described new approaches for early detection and targeted eradication of metastatic cancer. Here we summarize the results from preclinical validation of the experimental probes reported to date.","PeriodicalId":73855,"journal":{"name":"Journal of neurobiology and physiology","volume":"135 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138953414","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They have provided an accurate depiction of the literature and the current knowledge regarding CGRP’s association with neurologic injury, as well as some of the physiologic mechanisms and therapeutic targets. This commentary aims to further discuss the veracity of this article and to add an alternative viewpoint in terms of neuromodulators influencing post-traumatic headaches (PTH). Regarding PTH, the authors accurately depict a current understanding that is grounded in literature – CGRP’s association with neurologic injury is incompletely understood. Whether it be intracellular signaling leading to a pseudo-inflammatory response or hyperstimulation of the brain, CGRP is known to exacerbate headache symptoms. However, CGRP’s interactions in the setting of secondary headaches, such as those induced by subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) or traumatic brain injury (TBI), are variable depending on the timeframe.
