Neurons Can Transfer Mitochondria to Cancer Cells
Cancer-associated neurons can transfer their mitochondria to cancer cells, boosting their metabolism and function. Mitochondria might also serve as a measure of risk of metastases. Future therapies co...

Cancer cells steal mitochondria from nerve cells to fuel their spread
Cancer cells can acquire energy-generating structures called mitochondria from nearby nerve cells, which seems to aid their spread, a discovery that could lead to new treatments

The @greletlab.bsky.social show enhanced metastatic capabilities of cancer cells that receive mitochondria from neurons in primary tumors, shedding new light on how the nervous system supports cancer metabolism and metastatic dissemination.
Nerve-to-cancer transfer of mitochondria during cancer metastasis

Did you know that sea slugs steal chloroplasts from algae as portable snacks?! Neither did I, but a new Cell paper demonstrates that they do. 🐌🧪
My favorite part is the researchers called the storage for these stolen hors d’oeuvres “kleptosomes” 😂🥰
Summary from Nature & Cell paper linked below.

‘Wildest thing’: solar-powered slug steals chloroplasts and stores them for emergencies
Marine creatures house contraband structures in special organelles, which the animal raids for food in times of need.

Neuronal transfer of mitochondria to tumour cells promotes cancer spread
Neurons often receive organelles called mitochondria from other cells. It emerges that neurons donate mitochondria that support cancer-cell spread.

Cancer cells get power boost by stealing mitochondria from nerves
The theft probably helps the cells to spread around the body, and preventing it could provide a path to treatment, researchers say.

When I began studying mitochondria transfer during my master's internship in 2016, a committee member dismissed it as artificial and irrelevant to (patho)physiology. It's great to see growing evidence from recent studies proving otherwise 😊
