Astrocyte control of brain metastasis.

Developing therapeutics to improve metastatic brain cancer prognosis is hampered by limited experimental systems that recapitulate the brain tumor microenvironment. In this issue of Developmental Cell, Ishibashi et al. describe a glial-cancer cell co-culture system that enabled the identification of a targetable, astrocyte-driven mechanism of brain metastasis.
