Crick researchers have found that certain aggressive lung cancer cells can develop their own electric network, similar to the body’s nervous system.
This can allow tumour cells to go ‘off grid,’ making them harder to treat.

The research was led by @JeremieSubrini and James Turner (@lab_turner), and involved teams from our Sex Chromosome Biology Lab, Genetic Modification Service and @UniUtrecht.
Researchers at the Crick have uncovered which genes on the Y chromosome regulate the development of sperm and affect fertility in male mice. This could eventually help us to understand male infertility.
